Usually it's because you're calling a method recursively accidentally.
Have a look at the stack trace and see what's being called.

You can also get this from typos in properties, for example

private int myValue = 0;

public int MyValue {
get {return this.MyValue;}
set {
this.myValue = value;
}
}

the above code compiles fine but will generate a stack overflow if you try
and read the value of MyValue as it is recursive.
