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)

        obj.Show()

        Console.ReadLine()

    End Sub

End Module

Now run the application.
