Stack overflow exception in C# setter

Question

This works:

using System;
using ConstraintSet = System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary;

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class         


        

Answer 1

You cannot use the same variable name inside the getter and setter. This will cause it to call itself and will eventually lead to a stack overflow. Too much recursion.

You'll need a backing variable:

private ConstraintSet _a;
public ConstraintSet a { get { return _a; } set { _a = value; } }
