Stack Overflow Exception

[Gorge Bush]

Hi there,
all was going well with my first C# project until now as I am
getting a Stack Overflow exception. I haven't seen one of those since DOS
programming days and back then all you did was up the stack size. How do I
get around this in .Net?

Chances are it's because you've got a recursive property, eg:

string Foo
{
get { return Foo; }
}

I suggest you track down the last call you can make before the
overflow, and hopefully it'll be obvious.

Gorge,

Chances are this is the result of some sort infinite loop/recursion.
Can you post the code that does it?

Hi,

This problem exist in all environment I can think of, if you write a
recursive method incorrectly you will get it, like

void Foo( parameters )
{
Foo( .... );
}

do u have any recursive method?

Cheers,

Found it! In the code for setting a property, I was refering to the
property name instead of the member variable.

Thanks for the speedy replies.

you probably have a recursive call that doesn't end. look at the call stack
and identify which method, operator overload, or most likely property is the
offender.

Can you trace the overflow to a specific call? I've seen the good old stack
overflow a couple times in my .Net experience, and it's usually been because
of an infinite loop or a local variable having the same name as a property.

Give us a code sample and we may be able to spot it for you.

Hi

Good to know you solve it,

Try to use the recommended naming convention as this will decrease the
likely of this to happen again.

cheers,
