Fields

Name	Value	Description
Stopped	1	The service is not running. This corresponds to the Win32 SERVICE_STOPPED constant, which is defined as 0x00000001.
StartPending	2	The service is starting. This corresponds to the Win32 SERVICE_START_PENDING constant, which is defined as 0x00000002.
StopPending	3	The service is stopping. This corresponds to the Win32 SERVICE_STOP_PENDING constant, which is defined as 0x00000003.
Running	4	The service is running. This corresponds to the Win32 SERVICE_RUNNING constant, which is defined as 0x00000004.
ContinuePending	5	The service continue is pending. This corresponds to the Win32 SERVICE_CONTINUE_PENDING constant, which is defined as 0x00000005.

Paused	7	The service is paused. This corresponds to the Win32 SERVICE_PAUSED constant, which is defined as 0x00000007.

Examples

The following example uses the ServiceController class to check the current status of the TelNet service. If the service is stopped, the example starts the service. If the service is running, the example stops the service.

// Toggle the Telnet service - 
// If it is started (running, paused, etc), stop the service.
// If it is stopped, start the service.
ServiceController^ sc = gcnew ServiceController(  "Telnet" );
if ( sc )
{
   Console::WriteLine(  "The Telnet service status is currently set to {0}", sc->Status );
   if ( (sc->Status == (ServiceControllerStatus::Stopped) ) || (sc->Status == (ServiceControllerStatus::StopPending) ) )
   {
      // Start the service if the current status is stopped.
      Console::WriteLine(  "Starting the Telnet service..." );
      sc->Start();
   }
   else
   {
      // Stop the service if its status is not set to "Stopped".
      Console::WriteLine(  "Stopping the Telnet service..." );
      sc->Stop();
   }

   // Refresh and display the current service status.
   sc->Refresh();
   Console::WriteLine(  "The Telnet service status is now set to {0}.", sc->Status );

// Toggle the Telnet service -
// If it is started (running, paused, etc), stop the service.
// If it is stopped, start the service.
ServiceController sc = new ServiceController("Telnet");
Console.WriteLine("The Telnet service status is currently set to {0}",
                  sc.Status);

if ((sc.Status == ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped) ||
    (sc.Status == ServiceControllerStatus.StopPending))
{
   // Start the service if the current status is stopped.

   Console.WriteLine("Starting the Telnet service...");
   sc.Start();
}
else
{
   // Stop the service if its status is not set to "Stopped".

   Console.WriteLine("Stopping the Telnet service...");
   sc.Stop();
}

// Refresh and display the current service status.
sc.Refresh();
Console.WriteLine("The Telnet service status is now set to {0}.",
                   sc.Status);

' Toggle the Telnet service - 
' If it is started (running, paused, etc), stop the service.
' If it is stopped, start the service.
Dim sc As New ServiceController("Telnet")
Console.WriteLine("The Telnet service status is currently set to {0}", sc.Status)

If sc.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped) Or sc.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.StopPending) Then
   ' Start the service if the current status is stopped.
   Console.WriteLine("Starting the Telnet service...")
   sc.Start()
Else
   ' Stop the service if its status is not set to "Stopped".
   Console.WriteLine("Stopping the Telnet service...")
   sc.Stop()
End If

' Refresh and display the current service status.
sc.Refresh()
Console.WriteLine("The Telnet service status is now set to {0}.", sc.Status)

Remarks

The ServiceControllerStatus enumeration is used by an instance of the ServiceController class to indicate whether an existing service is running, stopped, paused, or whether a Start, Stop, Pause, or Continue command is pending.
