Can I make using `this` mandatory in my code?

Question

Is there a way to tell Visual Studio to make qualifying members of the current instance with this. mandatory? I prefer the clarity.

Details:

In C#, if you have instance members (fields, properties, methods, etc.), normally you can refer to them both with and without this, e.g.:

class Foo
{
    private int bar;

    Foo()
    {
        // These two lines are both valid, and both do exactly the same thing
        bar = 42;
        this.bar = 42;
    }
}

In my coding style, I don't want this to optional, I want the first line above to cause at least a warning. Obviously this is just for my own purposes, I'm not trying to mark the resulting assembly in some way that requires people using it to also do this, this is purely a personal style thing.

You could use programs such as Resharper (using the setting described here) and StyleCop (using this rule).

They allow you to define your own coding styles which cause validation warning in your code with suggestions on who to resolve them.

Here is a question on free alternatives to resharper.
