Something along the lines of this should stop your service.

ServiceController serviceMonitor = new ServiceController("servicename");
if( serviceMonitor == ServiceControllerStatus.Running )
{
serviceMonitor.Stop();
}

would it work a quick and dirty solution where you run a system command
called "net stop" ???
if it does...
system("net stop myownname")
