In C#, I kept on running into StackOverflowException in Main(). After some investigation, it looks like this happens whenever I call ShowDialog on an instance of OpenFileDialog.

So here's what I did: I started a new windows form, added one button, and copied the OpenFileDialog sample code from MSDN into the button's event handler. I get a StackOverflowException after the OpenFileDialog is done (Open, Cancel or otherwise) This repros every time.

Has anyone run into this problem?

I'm running VS.NET 2003 on Windows XP SP1.

Place a breakpoint on the line where you are opening the FileDialog,
trace through to see how the stackOverFlow is occuring.
