How to resolve problem with StackOverflowException on MVC Core

There is problem with hosting application on IIS by VS2017 (15.9.3). I have MVC app write in .NET Core 2.0 with enabled logging on web.config
stdoutLogEnabled="true" stdoutLogFile="c:\Logs\log.txt"
After any request is made I get 502.3 error.
HTTP Error 502.3 - Bad Gateway The specified CGI application
encountered an error and the server terminated the process.
On my log file there is short info:
Process is terminating due to StackOverflowException.
On EventViewer I get more descriptive error:
Faulting application name: w3wp.exe, version: 7.5.7601.17514, time

Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.24260, time stamp:

Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
Report Id: f7ca32d0-f31c-11e8-83db-1c4d70da3d0a
Exception is probably generated by something in my code, maybe configuration of sth is wrong, but how can I find reason of it?
What could be the best strategy to find solution?

VS 2015: How to debug Access Violation from MSVCR120.dll

I am working on a VS 2015 MVC C# web application for a client. The application has been stable for a couple of years, but the client has asked me to integrate some C++ DLLs that perform engineering calculations relevant to our web application.
Unfortunately there is no source code and documentation does not exist (don't ask me why...). So I am somewhat blind to how to use these DLLs.
When I load the main DLL and attempt to use it I get the following error:
Failed to load library SQLite3Ex.dll
Event viewer contains this entry:

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I think this is a general error - could be a missing .cfg file or even a missing DLL? But I'm not sure how to determine the problem.

"Symbols for image file Entities.dll could not be found"

I am having the following problem.
Data:
I have a TFS Build Controller+Agent machine. I have there VS2013 Update 5 Installed.
I am running a build step which executes the following code:
using (var coverageInfo = CoverageInfo.CreateFromFile(Path.GetFullPath(cmdArgs.CoverageFile), executableDirectories, executableDirectories))
{
using (var coverageDs = coverageInfo.BuildDataSet())
{
coverageDs.WriteXml(cmdArgs.OutputFile);
}
}
When that steps is executed in the Build Server there is an exception:
Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Coverage.Analysis.SymbolsNotFoundException: Symbols for image file "Entities.dll" could not be found.
The thing is that, when I run that same code from my local machine, pointing to the same folders as the build machine, everything runs fine.
Any idea of what I can check?
Regards!

I was able to fix the issue by installing VS 2012. Let me explain. The image below shows the project that was giving problems. As you can see, there are two references to *.Analysis and *.Symbols. These two dlls are referenced by PATH:
C:\Projects\Build\Dev\ActivityPack\References\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Coverage.Analysis.dll
C:\Projects\Build\Dev\ActivityPack\References\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Coverage.Symbols.dll
The thing is that it looks like those DLLs need additional components installed by VS 2010.
I was getting this error:

As you can see, the error is thrown by the Kernel, which makes me thing, in my ignorance, that there got to be a COM somewhere that is being referenced.
Thank you #cece for caring!

Debug build works fine, Release build breaks?

Trying to publish my UWP app. I'm able to build Release versions fine (I was actually able to push to the Store), but my app crashes as soon as it's launched. But the debug works fine?
I'm getting this error when debugging a Release build:
Unhandled exception at 0x55BA32F9 (Windows.UI.Xaml.dll) in AppName.exe: 0xC000027B: An application-internal exception has occurred (parameters: 0x00A12450, 0x00000002).
And these errors in Event Viewer if I launch it outside of VS:
1st:
Activation of app AppName failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.
2nd:

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I don't get any errors or warnings on Debug.

Add some code to the app.xaml.cs files unhandled exception event to send the error text to a web service or something like google analytics so you can see what is happening

Ended up being an issue with Entity Framework when it is compiled in .NET Native. I had to switch to SQLite for what I was using it for. Seems to work fine now.

Application won't run/open on other computer

I created a basic toolkit in .EXE format with ADB and Fastboot commands for my phone in Visual Studio Express 2012 using C#, and it works great on my computer, but when I try and open it on another computer, nothing happens. I have made sure to build it in Release mode, the computers I have tested are all on Windows 8 and have the latest .NET Frameworks, and I have read many other topics on this with no definitive answers. I am also getting errors in Event Viewer, but I'm not exactly sure what they mean. Have a look if you can, and thanks!

it's seems by the look of the stack trace that the code generated by the .net framework is trying to open a file from absolute location rather then a relative location. have you looked over the InitializeComponent method in the class Form1?
if not, please have a look. if you can't find a problem there wrep the call for InitializeComponent in try catch in order to get more information.
i would also recommend to try and debug it on other computer and go step by step. you can attach to a process using the visual studio and pause your program until the user pressed a button (using a message box for example)
