When you catch the exception you can use ServiceBase.Stop() Method to stop the service by itself.

try
{
    // Your Code
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // The code for stopping service
}

Also you can have multi catch blocks in some cases:

try
{
    // Your Code
}
catch (IndexOutOfRengeException ex)
{
    // The code for stopping service
}
catch (FileNotFoundException exc)
{
    // The code for stopping service
}
