Stop a service programatically

[UJ]

I have code to start up a service and delete (uninstall) a service. I'm
looking for help on stopping a service. I've noticed that if a service is
running and you delete it, it still is running but has been marked as
disabled. As soon as you stop it, it disappears from the list of services.

Any thoughts/help?

TIA - Jeff.

ServiceController to stop it programatically. Here's a walk through
