This is probably a very stupid question but I'm gonna ask it anyway...

Does a VB Service project still use AppDomains or not? I'm guessing it does but since a service is sort of specialised I'm a bit unsure. Obviously you can still use Threads and all the usual things in services though so AppDomain does fit.
 
Yes, it does, CLR put any load request into a AppDomain, so in case it blows the AppDomain is just unloaded and no harm done to OS. Prior to .Net you got a lot of "blue screens" in Windows when an app did something wrong, this doesn't happen with .Net applications.
