Application crashing due to stackoverflow

Question

This error is killing me so much. I am not able to capture this error at Application_OnError. The only message I am able to get is Event Viewer log.

Application: w3wp.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to stack overflow.



Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 7.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x47919413, faulting module nlssorting.dll, version 4.0.30319.235, time stamp 0x4da3fc88, exception code 0xc00000fd, fault offset 0x000020d4, process id 0x%9, application start time 0x%10.

I have a very large application and with the above error I am not able to judge where is the exact cause of the stackoverflow. Can you help me fixing this?

Why do you said you are not able to capture this error at Application_OnError ? — Steve B

I am logging errors in my Application_OnError and nothing is coming there in HttpContext.Current.Server.GetLastError() — Rocky Singh

StackOverflowExceptions are treated special by the CLR so it wouldn't surprise me if this isn't getting caught in Application_OnError. Without knowing more about your application though it will be impossible to help you determine the cause. Perhaps a recursive method? — M.Babcock

@BizApps that's what I am not able to track. I just have the message (which I have written in the question) logged in Event Viewer. — Rocky Singh

You may get more help in Application_End. From here, you can capture the shutdown stack using something like this...

HttpRuntime runtime = (HttpRuntime)typeof(System.Web.HttpRuntime).InvokeMember("_theRuntime", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.GetField, null, null, null);

(string)runtime.GetType().InvokeMember("_shutDownStack", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.GetField, null, runtime, null);

(string)runtime.GetType().InvokeMember("_shutDownMessage", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.GetField, null, runtime, null);
