Recursive Property Error ??

[AresBowman]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a property variable and I keep getting a "Recursive Property" warning. If I continue to compile and ignore the warning I get a 'NinjaTrade.Strategy.BBL' already contains a definition for 'numBack' error on line 129. I'm stumped here since I have a number of other property declarations of the same format which don't cause an error............ thanks in advance for your help


30 private int numBack = 1; (declaration located in Variable section of code)

(following located in "properties" section of code)

127 [Description("# of Days Back to set stopLoss")]
128 [Category("Parameters")]
129 public int numBack
130 {
131 get { return numBack; }
132 set { numBack = Math.Max(0, value); }
133 }

Just a typo on your side,

must be

public int NumBack (capital N)

a.l.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply, the code compiles correctly now.

Could you explain further the reason why there needs to a 'N' rather than an 'n'? I'm new to the c# language, I'm guessing this has to do with method vs. variable?

Great, thanks zweistein.

You need a capital letter here to distinguish between the variable declared in the Variables region (lowercase: numBack).

The public property gets its value from this variable, but is actually two separately declared variables.
