using indexer as automatic implementing properties

Question

dear friends 

i was trying to use indexer as auto-implementing properties as i think that indexer is nothing but properties just the difference is its syntax but i got an exception which was something about stack over flow i don't know why it showing so though i have not done any infinite looping or recursion i will try to attach screen print of program which i did please help me what wrong i did.

 

using System;

namespace IndexerExample

{

class Employee

{

public int this[int index]

{

get {

return this[index];

}

set {

this[index]=value;

}

}

}

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

Employee e = new Employee();

e[0] = 2;

Console.WriteLine(e[0]);

Console.ReadLine();

}

}

}
