Why am I receiving this StackOverflowException?

Question

I'm not sure what's going on here, it authenticates with the Twitter API just fine.

But when it gets to the point where it should post to twitter, it throws a StackOverflowException that says:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' 
occurred in mscorlib.dll

I'm pretty baffled. The code below is what leads up to and ultimately causes the exception.

    void StartValidation()
    {
        Console.Clear();
        //Start Status thread
        var status = TextAndUi.GetStatisThread();
        status.Start("Validating");

        //Check for Messages
        var tweetAndSenderData = Imap.GetUnreadMessageAndSender();

        if (tweetAndSenderData != null)
        {
            //Authurize connection and app
            var authenticate = new Authenticate();
            var tweetApp = authenticate.CreateClient();

            //End thread
            status.Abort();
            Console.WriteLine("Validated!");
            Console.Clear();

            //Post tweets
            PostContent("test", tweetApp);

            //Delete messages
            Imap.DeleteMessages();
        }
        else
        {
            //End thread
            status.Abort();
            TextAndUi.ShowSomethingToTheUser("The box is empty, or TTT could not secure a connection", true);
        }
    }

    void PostContent(string myTweet, TwitterService tweetApp)
    {
        if (TextAndUi.MessageIsSuitableLength(myTweet))
        {
                PostTweet(tweetApp, myTweet);
        }
    }

    void PostTweet(TwitterService tweetApp, string tweet )
    {
        var tweetOptions = new SendTweetOptions() {Status = tweet};

        tweetApp.SendTweet(tweetOptions); /*The line that throws the exception*
    }

The library being used is TweetSharp.

I had the same problem and was able to resolve it. For me, the problem occurred because on Twitter, I had only given my application read-access. To write a tweet from your code, your application must be registered as read/write on twitter.

To do this, I had to first revoke the application from the twitter account I was using it with. Then, I changed the application on dev.twitter so that it was read/write. I then generated a new access token and was able to send tweets from my code.

Hope that helps.
