    get all the services

    How can I get all of the services on someone's computer? I know they are listed in the registry, so how exactly could I get the name of all of them, not knowing what they may be, and put them into an array or list or anything else so I can display, sort and do other things?

    Add the system.ServiceProcess.dll to the references, and use servicecontroller class to enumerate all the services on a machine.

    The code assumes that you have a listbox added to your form.
    VB Code:
    1. Imports System.SerivceProcess

    2. '

    3. '

    4. '

    5. Dim servctrl() As ServiceController

    6.  servctrl = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.GetServices(Machine_name_can_go_here)

    7.   For Each serv As ServiceController In servctrl

    8.   ListBox1.Items.Add(serv.ServiceName)

    9. Next

    If it is a local computer then you may leave it blank, if it is in a domain then you may apply other methods to get the computer name. By the way this task needs adminsitrative privilege.
