Recursion Limit Exceeded in javascriptSerializer.serialize

Question

I'm using JavascriptSerializer to convert the list into string, but its not working and its throwing an error as Recursion Limit Exceeded. I have searched a lot but i didn't found any solutions to overcome this issue.

My conversion is like below

List<CustomType> _customValues= serializer.ConvertToType<List<CustomType>>(dictionary["CustomValues"]);
string CustomString = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(_customValues);

EDIT

My custom type is below

 public class CustomType
    {
        private string _name;
        public string Name
        {
            get
            { return _name; }
            set
            {
                if (this._name != value)
                {
                    this._name= value;
                }
            }
        }

        private double _mark;
        public double Mark
        {
            get
            { return _mark; }
            set
            {
                if (this._mark!= value)
                {
                    this._mark= value;
                }
            }
        }

        private int _id;
        public int Id
        {
            get
            { return _id; }
            set
            {
                if (this._id!= value)
                {
                    this._id= value;
                }
            }
        }

    }

How can i convert that list into string?. How can i overcome this issue?.

Thanks,

Use a JSON Serializer that ignores circular references. System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer can't ignore circular references and will easily get stuck in recursion and reach recursion limit.
