System.StackOverFlow Exception...

Apr 12 2008 3:05 AM
Hello...
I have an application that simply loops through all files in a given path and reports the number back on the form in a label.

I created a application that only does this function and here is the code...

//Form Code...
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public int iFilesFound = 0;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        public void UpdateFileCounterLabel(int iCtr)
        {

             //I get the error on any of these lines....

            this.iFilesFound = iCtr;
            this.lblFileCtr.Text = "| " + Convert.ToString(iFilesFound) + " File(s) Found |";
            Application.DoEvents();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            clsLoop.GetFileCount();

            MessageBox.Show("Done");
        }
    }

//Seperate  Class...

    class clsLoop
    {
        public static int i = 0;

        public static void GetFileCount()
        {
            string[] strFolders = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(@"C:\");
            string[] strFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\");

            foreach (string strFile in strFiles)
            {
                i++;
                Form1 f = (Form1)Application.OpenForms["Form1"];
                f.UpdateFileCounterLabel(i);
            }

            foreach (string strFolder in strFolders)
            {
                FileAttributes attributes = File.GetAttributes(strFolder);
                if ((attributes & FileAttributes.Hidden) != FileAttributes.Hidden)
                {
                    GetFileCount();
                }
            }
        }
    }

I have been unable to catch this exception and from what I read I cannot catch it.  It appears to crash around 85,000 files found.  (This is just a small part of a bigger application where I need to know how many files are in the selected directory so I can calculate processing time and percetage completed).

Thanks For All Your Help In Advance...
