VB.Net Self Keyword

To refer to the current instance of a class or structure, use the Me keyword. Me provides a way to refer to the specific instance in which the code is currently executing. It is particularly useful for passing information about the currently executing instance.

The Me keyword is also used as a modifier of the first parameter of an extension method.

You cannot use Me with static method functions because static methods do not belong to an object instance. If you try, you'll get an error.

Syntax Example: 
Sub SetBackgroundColor(FormName As Form)
  //FormName.BackColor = ...some color
End Sub
  
//Pass Me.
SetBackgroundColor(Me)
