Hi Steve,

For the most part, I use "this." for all fields or properties of the class (unless I forget <g>).

I don't know where this convention came from, but if we have a private field that we're exposing with a property, then the field is m_MyFoo and the property is MyFoo.

But, what's standard practice? I dunno ... is there any? <g>
