Answer 1

You'll need to show the code associated with the error in order to resolve the issue. You can edit your post and attach a link to the code after saving it in the playground.

Answer 2

This exception occurs when you have a call stack which exceeds the allocated memory.

A typical example provoking it are recursions which do not reach base cases.

Another root cause are event handlers invoking another event which then invokes the initial one again.
Think of min and max, which correct each other (min=5, max=7 -> set max to 3 -> min=3, max=3). When you do not stop correcting on equal values you get a stack overflow.

Answer 3

if you use recursion, see condition how it can stop and returns before code run over its hw limitations
