VB.Net program to demonstrate the StackOverflowException

By Nidhi Last Updated : November 13, 2024

What is a StackOverFlow exception in VB.Net?

Here, we will demonstrate the StackOverflowException, this exception will be generated by the infinite recursive function call.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to demonstrate the StackOverflowException is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

VB.Net code to demonstrate the example of StackOverflowException

'Vb.Net program to demonstrate the StackOverflowException

Module Module1
    Dim num As Integer = 10000
    Sub RecursiveFun()

        num = num + 10000
        RecursiveFun()
    End Sub

    Sub Main()
        Try
            RecursiveFun()
        Catch e As StackOverflowException
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub
End Module

Output

Process is terminated due to StackOverflowException.
Press any key to continue . . .

Explanation

In the above program, here we created a module Module1. The Module1 contain two functions RecursiveFun(), Main() function.

The RecursiveFun() function has an infinite recursive call that's why it will generate StackOverflow Exception.

The Main() is the entry point for the program, here we called the RecursiveFun() function that will be caught in the catch block and print an appropriate message on the console screen.
