I am getting into infinite loop in property setter

Question

public int Position
{
    get
    {
        if (Session[\"Position\"] != null)
        {
            Position = Convert.ToInt32(Session[\"Position\"]);
        }
            


        

Answer 1

There's nothing particularly string-like about session state items.

Why wouldn't you just follow the KISS principle and do something like

public int Position
{
  get { return (int) ( Session["Position"] ?? 5 ) ; }
  set { Session["Position"] = value ;               }
}

or (depending on your actual requirements/specs:

public int Position
{
  get { return Session["Pointer"] as int? ?? position ?? 5 ; }
  set { position = value ; }
}
private int? position ; // backing store
