How to COM client to know about server crash?

[vips]

Hi all,

Does anybody knows how to:

I have a COM client connected through a proxy to the COM object in local server. Is there a method for the client to get known about the server crashed without polling on some interface method, waiting for error ?

Best regards,
vips

Maybe that will be a strange way - you can check the process of the local server - if it is still alive on not. Another way is to send a message to the local server. I'd say that the standard method. You send a message and receive a response - so you know that everything's OK. If you wrote the local server - the task become easier.
Who knows another method?
