How to avoid server crash when one of multiple clients is shut down?

.NET remoting is used in my current application, where a server and a couple of clients are involved. And the server stores a list of instances for all the remote clients. As long as a data base in the server is updated, then the server will access the list to fetch the instances, which invoke UpdateAccordingly() method on each client to achieve consistance.

The problem is that whenever one of the client is shutdown the server will also crash. What I expect is that the server can keep on interacting with other running clients in case of a client's crash.

So how to handle this problem?

To make it more clear, I would like to supplement some details. The connections between server and the clients are handled by seprate threads. So if one client is shut down, the connection is not available. Then an exception is thrown by a specific thread. It seems that the exception can not be caught by the main thread. So exception can not be handled to restore all the interactions, for instance, remove the the instance of the client, which is not available.

Thank you so much in advance.

Hi ,

In this scenario you need to handle the exception. If your application doesn't handle the exception in work thread, the unyhandled exception will close the host process in this scenario. Please reference the following page:
