Re: Increase .NET stack space?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

First thing to do is review the recursive logic to see why it's taking so
much stack space. Maybe the recursive algorithm is not properly terminating?
Maybe some of the objects being created on the stack might better reside on
the heap (use classes instead of structs)? If the stack usage is justified,
perhaps the nature of the problem doesn't actually lend itself to a
recursive solution.
