Hey Cathi,

Thanks for responding. This is interesting. I'll look into this and try to see how the anti-virus SW is configured.

I have also seen where anti-virus software can trigger this to happen as well. To resolve the problem, you need to direct the anti-virus software to not scan the BIN directory to trigger the restart.

>>I've been monitoring this and found out an interesting situation. Because ir's intermittent and seems related to connectivity or server response it's been difficult to accurately reproduce the condition for analysis. But this morning a developer had the error pop up on him and I was able to talk with him about it. It appears that ( at least in this case ) the condition caused IIS to eventually timeout whcih threw a system level error which IIS handled and displayed an ASP.NET error message. The error eventually found its way back to my application logic which obediently logged the error. But, as a result, my retry code never fired even though the code is in a try-catch block.
