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

stack overflow happens because in the setter you are setting the property to a value (Ie you are trying to get something to set itself to something ... which causes an infinite loop) ... which means that it tries to set itself to a value which means its tries to set itself to a value untill boom

your properties will never get the values you are setting because they always return the same value (not the stored value)

public enum EnumDataType { Raspberry, Orange, Pear, Apple }; 

public class DataRequest 
{ 
private long _dataSize = 0;
private EnumDataType _dataType = EnumDataType.Apple;

public long DataSize { get { return _dataSize ; } set { _dataSixe= value; } } 
public EnumDataType DataType  { get { return _dataType; } set { _dataType= value; } } 
} 

is what you really wanted
