Increase Stack size IIS ASP.NET 3.5

Question

Hi,

I undertand that the stack size on ASP.NET was decreased to 256K instead of 1MB, how can I get it back to 1MB.

Please help.

Thanks.

You can use editbin, as described in this article.

Answer 2

Another solution could be that of creating an explicit new thread to perform the operations where you're getting a stack overflow error

  Thread t = new Thread(Run, 4194304); // 4M of stack size
  t.Start();
  t.Join();
  if (loadException != null) throw loadException;

  void Run()
        {
            try
            {
              // Operation causing stack overflow
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
              ...
            }
        }
