Windows Service terminated unexpectedly

Question

I have a windows service which has a number of threads that do some work. All has been going well in testing, until once, where I saw "windows service terminated unexpectedly" in the event viewer.

How do I go about trying to debug where this is happening? I have exceptions being caught under normal circumstances but not in this case.

I do not know where to start.

Answer 1

Put a call to System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break() in your OnStart() callback. When your service starts up, you'll be prompted to start the Visual Studio debugger. Once the debugger opens, you can debug from there.
