Recursive Function Calls Throw StackOverFlowException

Question

I\'ve to call a function recursively. But after a moment it throws StackOverFlowException. When I used Invoke(new Action(Start)) method, it throws same exception but not in

Answer 1

When the last statement in a function is the call to the function itself, you have tail-recursion. While there are languages that optimize tail-recursion to avoid a stack overflow exception, C# is not one of them.

Recursion is not a good pattern for data that can be of an arbitrary length. Simply replace recursion by a while loop:

private void Start()
{
    while(true) {
        // run select query
        mysql(selectQueryString.ToString());
        msdr = mysql();
        // is finished
        if (!msdr.HasRows)
        {
            this.Finish();
            break;
        }
        //  rest of your code..
    }
}
