I get kept this error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in Snake Game.exe

The line with the error is:

get { return SnakeRec; }

It is part of:

public Rectangle[] SnakeRec
{
get { return SnakeRec; }
}

Can anyone help me fix this error? Thanks

Looks like a bit of an endless loop you have there. SnakeRec is property with it's get accessor basically returning itself over and over again till your app's stack space has been exhausted.

Perhaps inside get you should return a new instance of SnakeRec instead of how you're doing it there.

Can you tell me how to do that? Sorry, I"m new to c#, I've been using vb for quite a while.

Ok..better idea.
In the code referencing "SnakeRec", create a new instance of the Rectangle struct and assign it to the property "SnakeRec"

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... angle.aspx << This shows what you'd need to do to do to create a new instance of rectangle, if you're not already familiar with that struct. If you are then just ignore this part

If SnakeRec doesn't have a "set" then one is needed for this to work. Basically that would like this:

private Rectangle[] rectVar;
public Rectangle[] SnakeRec
{
get { return rectVar; }
set { rectVar = value; }
}

define a variable above the struct....call it whatever you like, I'm going to use rectVar. Then change the "get" to return the new variable containing the instance that was provided in the "set".

I hope this makes sense.

OK your problem here is you return the same variable as you have in the get.

public Rectangle[] SnakeRec
{
get { return SnakeRec; }
}

(Check the bolded red-colored text above) ... this cause infinite loop as rstat1 said ... you can overcome this by a simple way,

I guess you have a private Rectangle[] SnakeRec in side the class, you can convert it to be as follows:

private Rectangle[] _SnakeRec

and then:

public Rectangle[] SnakeRec
{
get { return _SnakeRec; }
}

This will definitely solve the problem

Thanks. This made me realize that what I was doing wrong.
