Re: Windows Service Dies on Exception

If the library is that unstable, then I would consider isolating it into
another process, or using COM+ to create an out-of-process application pool
which will keep your service from shutting down. This should allow you to
get a more trappable error that your service can process.

My code uses a crappy LDAP library that has all sorts of issues. My
concern is how to catch the exception that is generated. I have been
asked to use System.Threading.Timer instead. I will try this and see
how it deals.

I did try to use the UnhandledException event in AppDomain.Current,
however, it doesn't even get raised.
