Code Syntax Style: Optional Member Qualifiers

Last modified: 11 February 2024

In C#, you can qualify instance members with this keyword, and qualify static members with type name or a base type name. These qualifiers help you disambiguate members hidden by local variables or method parameters. In all other cases, these modifiers are optional, and you can decide for yourself whether to use them or not. With JetBrains Rider, you can configure your preferences for using optional modifiers and enforce these preferences.

JetBrains Rider helps you adjust optional member qualifiers in the existing code and takes your preferences into account when it produces new code with code completion and code generation features, applies code templates and performs refactorings.
