This code will list all windows services, running or not, and can start / stop them as you wish. This example doesnt use any service controls at all! The services are inputted into a listview control. Enjoy! (and vote if you think i did a good job :)

Looks Cool! I would have taken the Stop, Start, Read and popped them into a Class for easier re-use though. BUT I love it. I needed something tohelp me with understanding services because I need to put SQL server on a timer to do a late start since my EMC drives dont come up till after SQL has started and Databases keep getting marked Suspect. This will help me.. Cool!!!
5 stars.

Just wondering if you can tell me if an NT service in .NET can run in a single-threaded apartment model? I have an ActiveX component that is single-threaded that is not being instantiated in the service.

Hi,
Just wondering if you can tell me if a windows nt service written in vb.net can run in a single-threaded apartment model? I have an activex component that is single-threaded but is not being instantiated when I try to run the service. Any light shed on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Very good! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I agree with Dave Andrews, except I wouldn't have called that poetry. More like ramblings. It had nothing to do with the code at all and it was something I really didn't want to read while I'm at work and trying to work on a problem while looking at sample code. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

do you know how enable\disable a local service programatically?
it would be nice if you could encorporate a feature like that in your code. I really need to find an example on this.
thanks. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Change "IISAdmin" with your service name. Also while setting value following are the options : 2 - Automatic mode 3 - Manual Mode 4 - Disabled.
Thank you. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Nice code. The comments were interesting but not something to complain over, the code is pretty easy to follow. I'm sure it couldn't have inconvenienced you that much, Jim.
Anyhow, good work :) 5 globes. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

"2)NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code."
Um. Since when have you been able to _run_ source code?

Please spare us the comments. You poluted the code with that garbage. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
