Parent class: Process is terminated due to StackOverflowException

[arek]

Hi,

I found in the code that it cannot manage Reference to parent. For example below code throw exception:
"Process is terminated due to StackOverflowException". Is it possible to write M parent as reference (like number "1" - because it was instanced before) ?

[ToString]
    public class M
    {
        public string A { get; set; }
        public string B { get; set; }

        public int C;

        private int D = 3;

        public List<string> Hello { get; set; }


        public M Parent { get; set; }
    }

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var m = new M
            {
                A = "3",
                B = "4",
                C = 5,
                Hello = new List<string>
                {
                    "A",
                    "B",
                    "C"
                }
            };

            m.Parent = m;
            Console.Write(m.ToString());
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }

Greate idea!
As a workaround, I guess you could [IgnoreDuringToString] attribute to Parent property.
