handling services from C#

[SR]

Hi all I am able to get the list of services from C#
using System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController ->
GetServices() method. However, I don't find any C# method
that will change the StartMode of any service. I
currently know of changing the StartMode programmatically
by going to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\AnySe
rviceName key. Is there any other recommended way? Please
let me know. Thanks for all your help.

SR,

I would use the WMI Win32_Service class for this. Once you have that,
you can make a call to the ChangeStartMode method on that class to set the
start mode.

Hope this helps.
