Initalization of dictionary

Question

I tried to create a dictionary :

public Dictionary<string, string> TipList{
get { return TipList;}
set { TipList = value;}
}

and when I try to place anything inside the dictionary, it keeps giving a StackOverflow exception.

Answer 1

Your setter is most likely calling TipList which is calling it's setter and an infinite loops occur. Resulting in an overflow.

Try initializing it like this ::
private Dictionary<string, string> TEtipList;
public Dictionary<string, string> TipList
{
get { return TEtipList; }
set { TEtipList = value; }
}
