.NET Framework Restarting ?

[Anders Both]

I have a .NET asp.net solution running on a server. The solution uses alot
of bussines logic where the DB (and other) stuff is cashed in ram. But after
a night when the system has not been in use, the .NET framework has
restarted and all the cash is cleared and all .NET object must be
regenerated.

Why does the system restart, and where can I see when and why it happen.

p.s. When I use the word 'cash' I am only refering to my own classes and
object, not the cashing system of IIS or ASP.NET.

Best Regards.

Hi Andres,

The .NET Framework is not an executable program by itself and therefore it
just could not restart. ASP.NET could if the IIS service was restarted, so
could your application in case of Windows re-start.
Another possibility could be that the CLR host running your application
somehow died, but the only reason I can imagine is a severe exception
occured that caused the host to completely fail.

You could probably give more details on what do you mean by ".NET Framework"
restart?
