How can I restart a windows service programmatically in .NET

Question

How can I restart a windows service programmatically in .NET?
Also, I need to do an operation when the service restart is completed.

Answer 1

Take a look at the ServiceController class.

To perform the operation that needs to be done when the service is restarted, I guess you should do that in the Service yourself (if it is your own service).
If you do not have access to the source of the service, then perhaps you can use the WaitForStatus method of the ServiceController.
