Keyword this (Me) is not valid in a static member

CodeRush Classic shows the Keyword this (Me) is not valid in a static member code issue if the this (Me in Visual Basic) keyword is used within a static member.

Expanded Fix

Make the member non static or use an instance of the current class instead of the this keyword.

Expanded Purpose

Highlights member declarations, which would cause the Keyword 'this' is not valid in a static property, static method, or static field initializer compilation error.

Expanded Example
