System.StackOverflowException

[Simon Harris]

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 Property

Hello
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.

Never mind - Realised my properties were in a right old mess :)
