Needed help on 'System.StackOverflowException'

Dear all,

I'm new to C# WebServices. I compile the WebService project it return no
errors "Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped".

Basically I have 2 WebMethod, when I try to invoke the first method it is
working fine. Then when I try to invoke the second method it return me an
error, Just In-Time Debugging, with error message
"An exception 'System.StackOverflowException' has occurred in WebServices"

What is the problem ? How to resolve it ?

Thanks in advance.

it's hard to tell, without looking a the code, but most of the time
StackOverflowException thrown when there's infinite loop in a funtcion ,
a classic exmaple

public string SayHello()
{
return SayHello();
}

Hi erymuzuan,

How do I trace where is the StackOverflowException is thrown in the
WebServices ? Is there any tools that I can use ?

If you are the developer of the Web service, i.e. if you have access to
the code then you can always add a try/catch block around the lines in
your WebMethod:

[WebMethod]
public void MyMethod()
{
try
{
}
catch( Exception ex )
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine( ex.ToString() );
}
}

and run DebugView from www.sysinternals.com to read the error message.

If it's an ASP.NET web service with simple parameter types and you can
convince the owner to allow you to see the full exception messages by
setting
<customErrors
mode="Off">
in the service's web.config file, then you may want to try invoking the
web service from the browser by navigating to the service's URL and
entering the parameter values on the test page.

Hi Christoph,

I already added a try/catch block in the WebMethod. I've downloaded the
tools "DebugView", but how this tool help to trace the StackOverflowException
? When I try to run the "DebugView" it doesn't seem to catch any errors.

Please guide me. Thanks.

Hello Mae,
One option is you could see the stack trace of the exception if at all
and determine parts of yr code that are hit before the exception is thrown.
If yr using VS.net but a breakpoint in the begining of the method and step
through you code. To do this you need to use VS.net Debug Processes and attach
to aspnet_wp.exe or w3wp.exe.

Hi Dilip,

I would like to know how do I use the VS.net Debug Processes and attach
to aspnet_wp.exe or w3wp.exe ?

Hello Mae,
In visual studio use the menu option Debug->Process... That will give you
a dialog box select aspnet_wp.exe if yr using XP or look for w3wp.exe in
Win2k3

One additional note, you will need to set the "Application Protection" for
the virtual directory where your web service lives to "Low (IIS Process)" in
order for your breakpoint to be hit.
