The .NET framework provides the System.ServiceProcess namespace. The
SystemController class has a static method called GetServices that returns
an array of all the services running on a system.

Dim services() As System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController
services = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.GetService s()
