Windows service for WCF Stops

Question

Hi, I have a WCF application hosted as a windows service. This windows service triggers this WCF every 15 minutes. But when an exception occurs in this WCF the service is getting stopped.

I don't want this service to stop. I want to some how handle this exception and trigger this WCF after another 15 minutes.

How can i do that? Please help, its urgent.

Answer 1

Look for the ServiceHost.Open(...) and put a try/catch around it perhaps.

Answer 2

You should handle exceptions in all your service operations in order to:

• Return nice faults to the caller
• Prevent the service from failing miserably

Put a try/catch around every operation or use a custom behavior to handle all exceptions coming from your service
