How can I start or stop system service like MSSQLSERVER?
Normally I start system service in command line 'net start MSSQLSERVER'
How can I start or stop a service with C#? Certainly before you start a service we should detect if the service have been started, how to detect in C#?
you can use:
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController sc = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController("MSSQLSERVER");
sc.Start();
sc.Stop();
use:
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController scc[] = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.GetServices();
to get an array of all local services.

Although ServiceProcess exists in .Net 2.0 i can't make it work either.. there is no Class named ServiceController in ServiceProcess namespace.
eg
System.ServiceProcess. You just have to add a reference to System.ServiceProcess.dll
sc.Start();
sc.Stop();
I did that, worked fine.
