Service not fully stopped after ServiceController.Stop()

Question

ServiceController serviceController = new ServiceController(someService);
serviceController.Stop();
serviceController.WaitForStopped();
DoSomething();

Answer 1

I've seen this before when I stopped a service that was a dependency to another service, and the second service was holding resources I didn't even know it was using. Do you think this might be the case? I know SQL has quite a few different components, but I haven't looked into whether there are multiple services associated with it.

Good luck!
