  Hi, as a MSDN Forums member, I would love to share some incredible suggestions that might change the way we replay to “threads” and the way we post questions.

  First off, posting a question shall be important to know where the problem might be, and members shall also explain it more deeply.
  
  

  A [not] so good and a not so accepted question:

  Hi,

  I have some problem with the stack, and I do not know!
  Can anybody help me?

  Have a nice day…

  While the above question might take time to answer we shall take a look at the new way of posting a question at MSDN forums.

  Code Snippet

  1. using System;

  2. using System.Collections.Generic;

  3. using System.Linq;

  4. using System.Text;
     

  5. namespace Work

  6. {

  7.     class Program
  8.     {
  9.        static void Main(string[] args)
  10.        {

  11.             RunProcA(); 

  12.        }
  13.       static void RunProcA()
  14.       {

  Hi John:
  
  Welcome to MSDN Forums community.
  
  

  Information
  Well, the stack overflow exception occurred since you did not catch the exception. Also, I must add, when a stack overflow exception occurs, then it means that too much stack has been laid down.   

  Solution to solve this problem
  I’ve check your code. And I think you shall implement my solution.
