How do I track down the cause of a StackOverflowException in .NET?

Question

private void MyButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  MyButton_Click_Aux();
}

Answer 1

When that exception happens, why not check what was recorded in call stack panel? The call stack itself can tell a lot.

Besides, low level debugging using SOS.dll and WinDbg can also tell you a lot.
