Stack overflow exception thrown from overridden property from abstract base class

Question

I have a base class with the following (trimmed for brevity) declaration:

public abstract class MyBaseClass
{    
  public int RecordId { get; private set; }
  p         


        

Answer 1

This is "By Design".

In the setter of Status you are calling this.Status = value. Status is a virtual property and hence it will bind right back to the setter of MySpecificClass.Status.

If you want to access the base property use base. instead

base.Status = value;
