Me

The Me keyword provides a way to refer to the specific instance of a class or structure in which the code is currently executing.
Me behaves like either an object variable or a structure variable referring to the current instance.
Using Me is particularly useful for passing information about the currently executing instance of a class or structure to a procedure in another class, structure, or module.

MyBase

The MyBase keyword behaves like an object variable referring to the base class of the current instance of a class.
MyBase is commonly used to access base class members that are overridden or shadowed in a derived class.
MyBase.New is used to explicitly call a base class constructor from a derived class constructor.

MyClass

The MyClass keyword behaves like an object variable referring to the current instance of a class as originally implemented.
MyClass is similar to Me, but all method calls on it are treated as if the method were NotOverridable.
