Public Class MyLongClassName

    Public Shared Name As String = "Ana"

    Public Shared Function GetName() As String
        Dim Name As String = "Beta"
        '... this is toooooo long
        Return MyLongClassName.Name
    End Function

    Public Shared Function GetName() As String
        Dim Name As String = "Beta"
        '... much better
        Return This.Name '<--- there is any keyword for this?
    End Function

End Class

I dont care only about long class names. Having a keyword to refer to the very class (like 'this' in static methods in Javascript) will be very useful along my journey.

To refer to a shared member within a shared method of the same class, you only have 2 choices:

1. Use the class name.
2. Use no qualifier and avoid locals with the same name.

The equivalent keyword is me. In place of This.

And this goes back to even VB days, and even VBA days

Thus

Return Me.Name
