Self Keyword (Cross Ref > Language Details)

Self Keyword

Access VBA:   Me

Same as VB. The Me keyword is a built-in variable that refers to the class where the code is executing. For example, you can pass Me from one module to another.

Syntax Example:
Private Sub Command10_Click()
    MsgBox Me.Name 'Displays name of form (Form1 in this case).

End Sub
ASP Classic:   me

Same as VB. The Me keyword is a built-in variable that refers to the class where the code is executing.

Syntax Example:
Class Cyborg
 Public CyborgName
 
 Public Function IntroduceYourself() 
  'Using Me. Prints Cameron.
  Response.Write("Hi, my name is " & Me.CyborgName & ".")
  
  'The above is just a demo. You could also not include "Me." 
  'in this case because we are in context of Me now. Using Me 
  'makes more sense when you start to pass Me as a parameter 
  'to a method.
 End Function 
End Class
C#:   this

To refer to the current instance of a class, use the this keyword. The this keyword provides a way to refer to the specific instance in which the code is currently executing. It is particularly useful for passing information about the currently executing instance.

The this keyword is also used as a modifier of the first parameter of an extension method.

You cannot use this with static method functions because static methods do not belong to an object instance. If you try, you'll get an error.

C++/CLI:   this
