C# Skype Chat Bot

Question

So, I'm making a simple chatbot, but when I try to attach it to skype by a button, it just crashes with an overflow, I was following a tutorial and did everything in the tutorial, but it just crashes when I press the attach button. Idk why since it seems to work for everyone else who uses the Skype4COM.dll

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    }

    private void materialRaisedButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit();

    }

    public Skype MySkype 
    { 
         get => MySkype; 
         set => MySkype = value; 
    }

    private void materialFlatButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MySkype.Attach(5, false);
        MessageBox.Show("Process Atached " + MySkype.CurrentUserHandle);
    }
}

}

Answer 1

You're receiving a StackOverflow exception because the get and set accessors reference the property rather than the private field you should have created; in essence, this causes an endless recursive loop that eventually causes the process to exhaust the available RAM.

your property should be something like this:

public Skype MySkype 
{ 
       get => _mySkype; 
       set => _mySkype = value; 
}

You should always aim to name private fields with an _ prefix to distinguish them from properties.

Another approach would just be:

Skype MySkype { get; set; }
