StackOverflowException when cancelling "CreateProjectPackage"

Question

Hello everybody, 
 I want my application to be able to cancel the ProjectPackageCreation process but I always get a StackOverflowException when I try to cancel the process by setting the ProgressEventArgs value of Cancel to true. I already tried to increase the stack size but I still get this Exception. I don't get a StackOverflowException when I cancel one of the other tasks (e.g. AnalyzeTask, TranslateTask). 
 I'm using this method: http://producthelp.sdl.com/SDK/ProjectAutomationApi/4.0/html/47a7ee1d-ff2b-71b3-831c-19024742d8d2.htm 
 Is it even possible to cancel the ProjectPackageCreation process? Did someone have the same problem? Is there a solution to this? 
 Regards, 
 Vincenzo

This is indeed a problem in the product and if you don't check also the status it will enter in an infinite look and crash with the exception so the solution is to also check the package status besides setting cancel to true. So if you want to cancel package creation you need to do something like this: 
 var psArgs = args as PackageStatusEventArgs;
 if (psArgs.Status == PackageStatus.Cancelling ||
 psArgs.Status == PackageStatus.Cancelled) return;
 args.Cancel = true; 
 This is not normal and expected behavior so I will raise this with development.
