C# Default Access Modifier for Class Members - and drop that private habit!
The default access modifier for the members of a C# class (eg, fields, methods, and properties) is ‘private’. As such, I recommend never using the redundant ‘private’ keyword for class members. Leaving off the private nicely separates your privates from your public/inheritable interface in syntax highlighting. It also saves people having to read redundant code - you wouldn’t want your code to be full of un-needed casts, or redundant ‘this.’ references, would you?

Nooooooo, but then I have to remember that no access modifier means private! And StyleCop will complain
Cheers,

Glad to see you dont like writing those extra chars either.
