Tic Tac Toe

hey..im creating a simple tic tac toe game in c# but im having a small problem. i want the input to be only be accepted if it is between 0 and 8..otherwise ask the user for input again..but i cant seem to get it..here is what i have

Code:

 static int getInput()
        {
           int input;
            Console.WriteLine("Please Make Your Move!");
            input = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
            if(input < 0 || input > 8)
            {
               Console.WriteLine("Invalid Input!");
                getInput();
              } 
           return input;
        }

while(!player1.isEmpty(value=getInput())) // check if spot has already been filled
                {
                   Console.WriteLine("Sorry,Alredy Filled!");
                }
                
                player1.makeMove(value);

my code does the check fine..but after that if i return a value between 0 and 8..it crashes ??

You're not doing anything with the return value from the recursive call to getInput().

Code:

if(input < 0 || input > 8)
{
   Console.WriteLine("Invalid Input!");
   return getInput();
}

oh!..i forgot about that!..thanks..it worked !
