Stack overflow error in C# - but how to fix it?

Question

I\'ve run into a really interesting runtime bug which generates a rogue stack overflow.

I\'ve defined a structure as follows:

public enum EnumDataTy         


        

Answer 1

you have to implemet it with a backing store:

private EnumDataType dataType;
public EnumDataType DataType  { get { return EnumDataType.Apple; } set { dataType = value; } }

}

You should do so anytime you do some acion in the getter and setters. By the way, why can you even set the variables? you can't read them out, you always get EnumDataType.Apple. If you want a start value, you can do like this:

private EnumDataType dataType = EnumDataType.Apple;
public EnumDataType
{
   get
   {
       return dataType;
   }
   set
   {
       dataType = value;
   }
 }
