When do you use the “this” keyword?

In OOP sometimes we can write this.PropertyName = VALUE and sometimes we can skip this. and just write PropertyName = VALUE.

My questions:

1. Should we try always to use this.?

2. Does using / writing this have any effect on application performance or does it just make the code a little bit clearer?

Answer 1

There shouldn't be any difference in performance. Its purely a style decision.
