StackOverFlow on class property [duplicate]

Answer 1

As an addition to the "Property-calls-itself" remarks, in the latest C# version you can covert such given simple properties to an auto-property:

public class myClass
{
    public myClass()
    {
        this.IsAuthenticated = false;
    }

    public bool IsAuthenticated { get; set; }
}

Edit: changed capitalization of the property, C# naming conventions calls for capital letters as starting letters of a public field or property.

Answer 2

Because you are setting the myClass.IsAuthenticated property itself.

You have to save the value in a local variable or if you use C# 3.0 or greater just do (automatic property)

public bool IsAuthenticated {get; set;}

Answer 3

The getter/setter is calling itself. Add a member variable.

{
     bool isAuthenticated;
        public myClass()
        {
            IsAuthenticated = false;
        }
        public bool IsAuthenticated
        {
            get { return isAuthenticated; }
            set { isAuthenticated = value; }
        }
}

Answer 4

The snake eats its tail. When you assign true to isAuthenticated in the constructor, you use the setter of your property but in the setter, you set it again, so you have some kind of infinite setting loop.

Answer 5

The setter is calling itself, when it should be setting some private field - by the looks of it, the getter will do the same since your example doesn't contain any fields. If you're using .net 3.5 you can just use an auto-implemented property...
