System.StackOverflowException

Hi All,

When I set the property of title in my class (Shown below) I get a
"Exception of type System.StackOverflowException was thrown." error message.

I'm guessing I got some sort of horrible loop going on, where did I go
wrong?

Thanks,
Simon.

Private pTitleAs String

Public Property Title() As String
Get
Return pStrTitle
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
Title = pStrTitle
End Set
End PropertyHello
Change
Title = pStrTitle
to
pStrTitle = Value

Best regards,
Sherif

you're setting the title of the string with pstrTitle, but the set action
itself calls the property again recursively. The solution provided by sherif
will fix the problem, i just thought you wanted to know the why.

System.StackOverflowException

Server Error in '/' Application.
------------------------
Exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' was thrown.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.StackOverflowException: Exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' was thrown.
Source Error:
An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.
Stack Trace:
[StackOverflowException: Exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' was thrown.]

I was poking around with some of the controls in ASP.NET 2.0, and suddenly got this message. I have tried everything I can think of, but it just won't go away! Please help!

Thomas ><>Can you be more specific? For example can you post some code or tell us when this happen, what you did that will cause this exception to be thrown etc? This kind of exception will often be thrown when the stack is full, probably when there is loop that will do something with the stack and never. For example like a recursive method that will never end.

That is the source for the Master page. I am certain the problem is not with the Content pages. Also I am using an XML file that has the menu info in it. I am sure the problem is not there either, since the menu worked at one point. Thank you.

Has anyone else seen this error? How is it fixed?
If you could send me your code and the XML file, I could check if I will have the same problem. My e-mail is fnormen@.<no spam>hotmail.com

System.StackOverflowException: Exception of type System.StackOverf

Error:-
System.StackOverflowException: Exception of type
System.StackOverflowException was thrown.
When is this thrown..
Any ideasthis should happen when you have a cicling method which is never finishig.
It should happen to have a property like this

private int a ;
public int A{
get{ return A;} instead of A put a
set{ A = value;} instead of A put a
}

this is the most usuall content in which you get the error.
