Detect SQL Server Service

I am running a winforms application as a scheduled task in Windows, but I
want it to wait to make sure the SQL Server Service is running before it
runs the app. Can I detect this in vb.net code?

Make a connection to the SQL Server database and if it is successful
then the SQL Server service must be running. If the connection attempt
fails it most likely isn't running.
