Global exception handler for windows services?

Is there a way to globally handle exceptions for a Windows Service? Something similar to the following in Windows Forms applications:

Application.ThreadException += new ThreadExceptionEventHandler(new ThreadExceptionHandler().ApplicationThreadException);
c# .net exception windows-services

Have you tried

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException

This will fire for unhandled exceptions in the given domain no matter what thread they occur on. If your windows service uses multiple AppDomains you'll need to use this value for every domain but most don't.
