StackOverflowException usually means you've ended up in an infinite recursive loop. If I were in your shoes I'd be looking for where it'd be possible for one of your methods or properties to call itself (or call another method chain which loops back to itself).

This type of exception is actually the easiest to discover under debugger. You should just run the code until exception is caught by the debugger and look at the call stack. (With Visual Studio, you can show the debug windows "Call Stack".) Find at least one method called several times, put a breakpoint on its first statement. Every time your execution stops at the break point, look at the stack. You mean need to shift a break point or add some new ones to get closer to the source of the problem.

You need to find out why recursive never ends and develop a condition of the exit from recursion.

Actually, it's much harder to explain than actually achieve. The process of the debugging always converges, and usually it happens very quickly, if you understand how your code basically works.

If you instantiate in constructor Class
It will make infinite looping

This is very usual mistake. Perhaps you need to elaborate your answer. What you say is not directly related to mine, where I describe the general method of finding such bugs.

XML

namespace Tenant.DataAccess
{
    public class TenantOrderDAO : GenericCommon<OrderInfo>
    {
        private OrderInfo mOrderInfo;
        public TenantOrderDAO mTO_DAO { get; set; }

        public OrderInfo OrderInfo
        {
            get { return mOrderInfo; }
            set { mOrderInfo = value; }
        }

        public TenantOrderDAO()
        {
            mOrderInfo = new OrderInfo();
            mTO_DAO = new TenantOrderDAO();
        }

}

Somewhere in your code, it's become stuck in something like a recursive loop and it will run and run until there is no more stack space available. Poorly named properties can also cause this...
e.g.

C#

private int _myProperty;
public int MyProperty
{
    get {return _myProperty;}
    set {MyProperty = value;} // Oops, this will cause Stack overflow...should've been '_myProperty = value'
}

From what you've posted, it's impossible to say whereabouts this is happening, you need to debug it yourself. Determine where abouts in the application the exception is occurring and put a breakpoint on the controller action you think may be the cause. Step through the code, you should see where a function is being called over and over.
