C# - Lazy Load Stackoverflow Exception

Vote count:

0

I'm new to lazy-loading and I've been trying to implement it in my program. However, my program is throwing a StackoverflowException for some reason. I'm not sure how to approach this issue.

public new Field this[int key]
    {
        get
        {
            if (!this.Contains(key))
            {
                Field field = null;

                // The loading code of the field + assigning the field object.

                this.Add(field);
            }

            return this[key];
        }
    }

I do realize the last line this[key] will just return over and over again, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
