In C#, is accessing the current object's properties through this.XYZ considered poor style compared to just XYZ

Question

Is it a simple case of just never using the this.XYZ construct?

Answer 1

It's only considered poor style if it violates your style guidelines. Sometimes using this is necessary to qualify a member variable over a local variable:

public MyType(int arg)
{
    this.arg = arg;
}

This problem can also be mitigated with style guidelines. For example, prefix members with "_":

public MyType(int arg)
{
    _arg = arg;
}
