I have a DLL which invokes an application running underneath. This DLL is loaded by several other applications/processes simultaneously.
So, Basically Architecture is:

enter image description here

My Problem is if Application(s) using DLL is crashed, I want to execute an exit sequence in my Base Application and Exit it.
How can I detect that this DLL is no longer used by any application?
Is there any thing like Load Count of DLL which I can keep track of?
Another glitch is I may have to monitor this via a C# application but that is a further thing.

    You could host the DLL in the Base Application either and implement your own ref count using shared sections, easy, and often used. As already mentioned, one possibility would be to implemented your ref counting inside your DLL entry point and detect DLL_PROCESS_DETACH, DLL_THREAD_DETACH, DLL_PROCESS_DETACH, etc according to you specifications.
