The simple explanation is:
this always points to the object that the currently executing code belongs to.

For a more sophisticated answer, read the given MSDN link.

just tell me 1 more thing. even if we dont use this keyword ,still the code executes. than what is the advantage of using "this".

lukeer 17-Mar-12 6:44am

The advantage is that a developer looks at the code and immediately knows where a method or property or whatever belongs to.

Suppose say you have a constructor that contains two parameters and you want to initialize the local variables which are of same name as the parameters, 'this' keyword would be useful. EX:
public MyConstructor(int age, string name)
{
this.age= age;
this.name= name;
}
here the 'this' keyword here will qualify the fields.
