How to change the Startup Type of a Service with VB.NET?

Hi,

How do you change the Startup Type of a Windows Service with VB.NET?
When using the ServiceControll er you can Start and Stop a Service, but I
can't find anywhere how to change the Startup Type?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pieter

Look at the StartType property of the ServiceInstalle r class.

Hi

You can have this code to start the service automatically :
serviceInstalle r1.StartType =
System.ServiceP rocess.ServiceS tartMode.Automa tic;

This must be added in the ProjectInstalle r class.

I'd like to programmatically remove a service or change its startup type to disabled. I know how to remove it from the command line but is there another way using the win32 extensions? I've looked through the win32 help file but when it lists the arguments for its methods (such as win32service.ChangeServiceConfig) it doesn't give a dictionary of possible arguments. How can I tell what int is associated with what Access Type (in...

I am running the ASP.NET State service on 3 servers and one workstation. I have set the startup type to 'Automatic' on all instances. After rebooting any of these machines, the service does not start and when I check the startup type it has been chaanged back to manual. When I start the servie manually it runs fine, so I don't think that there's a permissions issue.

I'm writing a C# app in which I need to get the Startup type of a couple of services that are registered on the machine. I need to record what the Startup type value is at the time of program execution. However, I'm not having much luck getting this done. Would anyone know how to query a service's Startup type and get the value (either Automatic, Manual, or Disabled) that is set? Thanks!

Is there a way to change a Service's startup type somewhere in the .net framework? I've been messing around with the System.ServiceProcess namespace which allows me to start, stop and pause services however if the service's startup type is set to "Disabled" there is no way for me to change it to Automatic or Manual... attempting to start a disabled service results in exceptions (i.e. ServiceController.Start).

I am trying to write a little utility and it needs to check the startup type of a given service on a remote machine and, if it is disabled, set it to manual. I have found out how to do this on the local machine using ServiceInstaller.StartType, but I cannot seem to find a way to specify the name of a remote machine to perform this action upon. I know that ServiceController will allow me to talk to a remote system and start/stop services,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
