Import System.ServiceProcess for getting ServiceController class in windows application.

Now on start_button click,write:-

protected void start_button_click()
{

   ServiceController service = new ServiceController(serviceName);
  try
  {
    TimeSpan timeout = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(timeoutMilliseconds);

    service.Start();
    service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, timeout);
  }
  catch(exception ex)
  {
    throw ex;
  }
}


same for 
protected void stop_button_click()
{
ServiceController service = new ServiceController(serviceName);
  try
  {
    TimeSpan timeout = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(timeoutMilliseconds);

    service.Stop();
    service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped, timeout);
  }
  catch(Exception ex)
  {
    throw ex;
  }
}

Hi,you need to give reference of System.ServiceProcess.dll.

Clicking on Add reference and find System.ServiceProcess.dll.

Then you can import system.serviceprocess namespace.

Hey Guys,

I know all these. I've gone through these links. But I want to do same thing via Button.
Now issue is if I am creating a win form than I am not able to add ServiceController as header file. And if I am adding this into same project and running it than, the project executes service rather than my form. This was the reason I asked for detailed steps or model for it.

Follow the process as:-

Right-click the project in Solution Explorer and select Add Reference. On the .NET tab, scroll to System.ServiceProcess, select it, and click OK.
