Solution 1

You are calling ImgRecive() recursively, so each image you receive, you are allocating another (probably large) stack frame.
You need to change your recursion to some sort of looping construct.

i replaced the recursion with while loop and it worked for me the new code is like this

C#

public void ImgRecive()
    {
        tcp.Start();
        sock = tcp.AcceptSocket();
        ns = new NetworkStream(sock);
        while (sock.Connected == true)
        {
            try
            {
                tcp.Start();
                sock = tcp.AcceptSocket();
                ns = new NetworkStream(sock);
                pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(ns);
                tcp.Stop();
                ns.Flush();
            }
            catch (Exception exxx) { MessageBox.Show(exxx.Message); }
        }
    }

so if that helped any one i will be happy :D
