• .NET Development .NET UI Application Crash

  Hi, We have a vb.NET client UI application which calls a number of web services. The application is intermittantly crashing completely without any evidence of an exception etc. The application is single threaded for the most part, the only area that deviates is a class managing serial port comms via win32 calls.
