run as NTService

[Jaci Ho]

Hi there,
I am trying to make my VB program run as NTservice. I know there is a control to do that. How to make my program to pause and restart again without using the control panel? I am trying to write a VB program to pause and continue the service automatically or though a User interface. Is there any one know how to do that? thxk in advance

You're not planning on putting the UI in the service, are you ;)

No. I have a program install a service already and want another program to pause and continue the service automatically. I want to do this because I can't do any upgrade during the service is running. That's why I want to write another program to stop the service.

I know. It was a joke.

There are some API's to start and stop services etc. I'll look them up and post later today (if no one else does it).
