COM Interop

[B00gyeMan]

I have a in-process COM server which was not writen by me (no sources available) and which I use from a windows service written in C#. But sometimes, in some certain conditions (which I cannot prevent occuring) the COM object crashes and so the windows service (exception handling is all right, but I get no exception). Also, I get no error in any of the event logs.

My question is: does anyone know how can I detect the crash or at least how can I stop my windows service from going down with the COM object?

You can run it in it's own AppDomain, but then the .net runtime is making remoting calls on your behalf (i.e. slooow)

You could set up a class that makes all your interop calls for you. If it catches an exception then you could try restarting the service.
