Question

In programming you can use the this keyword

this.Textbox

or just

Textbox

What is the best practice?

Some benefits I can see is that using this makes it easier to see in intellisense and makes it easier to understand that it is a property.

Currently I don’t use this… I read in some article somewhere that the guy removed all the references, but I don’t remember why.

What are the pros and cons of using the this keyword?

Answer 1

Using this systematically will mean that you don’t fall into a trap of referring to a local variable when in fact you want a member of this.

The downside: using this will make your code more verbose.

It’s really up to personal preference.
