Me keyword in VB.NET

Me Keyword

The me keyword refers to the current instance of the class. This is the similar to the this keyword in c#. Now first we run the following code without me keyword.

Module Module1

Class hello

Private Phoneno As Integer

Private name As String

Public Sub New(ByVal phoneno As Integer, ByVal name As String)

phoneno = phoneno

name = name

End Sub

Public Sub Show()

Console.WriteLine("Your Phoneno is :" & Phoneno.ToString())

Console.WriteLine("Your name is : " & name)

End Sub

End Class

Sub Main()

Dim phoneno As Integer

Dim name As String

Console.Write("Enter your Phoneno : ")

phoneno = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine())

Console.Write("Enter your name : ")

name = Console.ReadLine()

Dim obj As New hello(phoneno, name)

obj.Show()

Console.ReadLine()

End Sub

End Module

Now run the application.

Figure1.

Now run the following code with me keyword.

Module Module1

Public Class Demo

Private phoneno As Integer

Private name As String

Public Sub New(ByVal phoneno As Integer, ByVal name As String)

Me.phoneno = phoneno

Me.name = name

End Sub

Public Sub Show()

Console.WriteLine("Your Phoneno is :" & phoneno.ToString())

Console.WriteLine("Your name is : " & name)

End Sub

End Class

Sub Main()

Dim phoneno As Integer

Dim name As String

Console.Write("Enter your phoneno : ")

phoneno = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine())

Console.Write("Enter your name : ")

name = Console.ReadLine()

Dim obj As New Demo(phoneno, name)
