title: What is the function of the "this" keyword in a constructor?
body: <p>I was looking at sample code from MSDN just now and came accross:</p>
  
  <pre><code>namespace IListSourceCS
  {
      public class Employee : BusinessObjectBase
      {
          private string      _id;
          private string      _name;
          private Decimal     parkingId;
  
          public Employee() : this(string.Empty, 0) {} // &lt;&lt;--- WHAT IS THIS???
          public Employee(string name) : this(name, 0) {}
  </code></pre>
