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

How about

var theController = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController("IISAdmin");

theController.Stop();
theController.Start();

Don't forget to add the System.ServiceProcess.dll to your project for this to work.
