New to C#, why does Property Set throw StackOverflow exception?

I have a simple class call myClass that has a property called isAuthenticated with the following code:

public class myClass
{
        public myClass()
        {
            this.isAuthenticated = false;
        }
        public bool isAuthenticated
        {
            get { return isAuthenticated; }
            set { isAuthenticated = value; }
        }
}

When I initalize the class I get a stackoverflow on the set {…} line, what am I doing wrong?

The getter/setter is calling itself. Add a member variable.

{
     bool isAuthenticated;
        public myClass()
        {
            IsAuthenticated = false;
        }
        public bool IsAuthenticated
        {
            get { return isAuthenticated; }
            set { isAuthenticated = value; }
        }
}
