Have you tried a simple Application.Exit()
You might have to call exitthread before calling exit.
The service itself must have the CanStop property set to true when your
developing the service. You can check if you can stop it with .......
if (myController.CanStop)
{
myController.Stop();
}
The suggestion to throw an exception is a complete hack that another MVP
suggested worked. The reason it works in onStart is that the service has
not yet started.
Your alternative would be to overide the DACL for the service, allocating a
new security descriptor and then using a call to advapi32 to get a better
control at the API level. It still might not work, as the user account your
service runs under has to have service stop permissions so check which
account yout running the service under.

It does work from the OnStart method...

I am starting a timer in the OnStart method
and the worker code is started from the timer event.
Wherever I throw an unhandled exception, the service is not stopped...

Using C#:
I tried:
ServiceController me = new ServiceController(this.ServiceName);
me.Stop();
it raises an exception: Cannot find Service
I also tried:
Process.Start("net.exe", "stop " + this.ServiceName);
That did work either.
from DOS:
net stop ServiveName
works.
Any suggestions welcome.
