Hi All,
I have created an ActiveX dll which I'm accessing in ASP using Server.Createobject. When my ASP application is executed, DLLHOST.EXE is started as a seperate process. And even after my application is terminated this DLLHOST.EXE doesn't gets terminated. Could anyone please explain me the scenario?
Thanks in advance
 
You must either have your Web app set to High Isolation or you are running the dll in COM+. Either of these scenarios true?
 
ISS is a COM+ application in itself. If your ASP application has been set to run isolated then basically ISS sets up a COM+ Package that your Web site runs in.

Web applications generally run for 3 minutes even if no one is connected to the app (since they are just MTS packages themselves and follow the normal default) But you can shut them down explicitly from Component Services.
