About
Provides the System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController API, which allows to connect to a Windows service, manipulate it, or get information about it. Not supported on other platforms.
Key Features
- Retrieve information from Windows services
- Connect to and manipulate Windows services (start, pause, stop or other operations)
How to Use
Retrieve Windows service information
using System.ServiceProcess;
// Loop through all installed Windows services and print the name, status and display name.
foreach (ServiceController serviceController in ServiceController.GetServices())
{
Console.WriteLine("Name: " + serviceController.ServiceName);
Console.WriteLine("Status: " + serviceController.Status.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Display name: " + serviceController.DisplayName);
}
// Loop through all installed device driver services
foreach (ServiceController serviceController in ServiceController.GetDevices())
{
Console.WriteLine("Name: " + serviceController.ServiceName);
Console.WriteLine("Status: " + serviceController.Status.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Display name: " + serviceController.DisplayName);
}
Manipulate a Windows service
using System.ServiceProcess;
ServiceController service = new("TestServiceName");
if (service.CanStop && service.Status != ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped && service.Status != ServiceControllerStatus.StopPending)
{
service.Stop();
}
