Well...yes - it will...

C#

public static int eno
{
    get {
        return 1;
    }
    set {
        eno = value;
    }
}

So

C#

eno = 5;

Calls the setter, which does:

C#

int value = 5;
eno = 5;

Which calls the setter, which does:

C#

int value = 5;
eno = 5;

Which calls the setter, which does:

C#

int value = 5;
eno = 5;

...

You can't set the value of a property from within the property!
Try this:

C#

private static int _Eno
public static int Eno
{
    get {
        return 1;
    }
    set {
        _Eno = value;
    }
}

Though why you return a constant value from the getter is anyones guess!
