Start Service with C #

Question

I'm trying to start a service with C # but throws me the following error:

ServiceController service = new ServiceController(sServiceName); service.MachineName = localComputerName; service.Start(); service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running);

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open service on computer System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.GetServiceHandle(Int32 desiredAccess) at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Stop()

Look for your permissions. May me you need to run your app (or Visual Studio) from Administrator account.

Your Access is denied error indicates to me that the identity under which your process / application is running does not have permission to start & stop services.

Have you red the exception text? you simply have no permission to start a server. Read: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h846e9b3.aspx ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.serviceprocess.servicecontrollerpermission.aspx specifically) or simply launch the application as an administrator
