c# ChannelFactory: How to reconnect/reopen connection after FaultException|TimeoutException?

I am using a ChannelFactory with netTcpBinding. Sometimes I get exceptions and after these I can not use the channel anymore because it is in faulted state.

What should I do to reestablish the connection? Should I call abort(), then close/open. Or Close(), then open(), or should I just use a new object like:

myPublicChannel = this.ChannelFactory.CreateChannel();

Should I reopen the connection just in my catch block? Will I need a special locking mechanism because other threads could also use this channel and then try to reestablish the connection simultaneously.

Thank you very much for your answer in advance!

I would actually close and set it to null to dispose anything from the connection then use open, I have written some web services before where not disposing the ChannelFactory caused some memory leaks and other problems.
