MyClass Keyword

Give the exact definition of MyClass keyword?

[Plater]

Easy. MyClass is NOT a keyword.
Done. What else?

[moorcroft]

The MyClass keyword is used to refer to the containing class and its inherited members. It refers to the current instance of a class as originally implemented. It treats all method calls as NotOverridable, i.e., called methods are not affected by overriding in a derived class. The MyClass keyword can be used as a qualifier for Shared members. Following are some restrictions imposed on the usage of the MyClass keyword:
It cannot be assigned to a variable.
It cannot be passed to procedures.
It cannot be used with the Is operator for logical comparison.
It cannot be used in standard modules.

It occured to me that it was some nonsensical VB-only thing.
But I stuck to my guns on that one.


EDIT: That article makes it sound like the base operator. Used to refer to a base class's methods from withen an inherited class.

Ouch, that hurt ;). I searched for some witty but stinging C# reply, but came up short. All I have is Hannes Preishuber and save the C# conferences lol.

ps - who is Platter? Is it Bruno, the Grand master of the Teutonic Order - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platter?
