For me, it depends. If it is a short function or variable, I just type it in (e.g. mCount). Most of the time, however, I use very descriptive member variable and function names (e.g. mExclusivelyLockedDigitalIOList ). In those instances, I tend to use the this pointer to have Visual Studio's IntelliSense finish my typing for me. Saves on keystrokes and spelling mistakes.
