Definition

Namespace:

Refreshes property values by resetting the properties to their current values.

C#

public void Refresh();

Examples

The following example demonstrates the use of the Refresh method to obtain the status of a service. The code instructs a service to pause, and then waits for the status to reflect the change. This example is part of a larger example that is provided for the ServiceController class.

C#

sc.Pause();
while (sc.Status != ServiceControllerStatus.Paused)
{
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    sc.Refresh();
}
Console.WriteLine("Status = " + sc.Status);

Remarks

The Refresh method causes the ServicesDependedOn, DependentServices, and Status properties to be reset to their current values when they are next referenced.
