IsInitializing Property (boolean) hangs on property set

I am upgrading an app from 6.0 to VB.

Have a couple of radio buttons that gave me the "may fire when form is
initialized" upgrade message. (no problem)

Added an Isinitializing property (boolean):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
Private Property IsInitializing() As String

Get

Return IsInitializing

End Get

Set(ByVal Value As String)

IsInitializing = Value

End Set

End Property



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------

When I try to set this property as such:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Me.IsInitializing() = "True"

InitializeComponent()

Me.IsInitializing = "False"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------

in the "new" method of my form class, I get an error, as the property gets
hung when it tries to set the "isinitialized" property to true:

"An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred "

The hanging app is the property get routine....I debugged and tracked it
into the property set routine where it blows up for no apparent reason.

Any wisdom out there???

Hi Grumpy

I do not see it in this code however mostly this is the normal answer on an
infinite loop

Here you recursively call the Get method again.
End Get

Set(ByVal Value As String)

IsInitializing = Value
Click to expand...

Here you recursively call the Set method again.
End Set

End Property

You need a field to store the value, otherwise you'll get a stack overflow.
