Stop Service on Error

Hi

I have developed a Windows service in C# (inherited from System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase) and, after the service has successfully started, when I catch an exception I'd like to write the code for the service to stop itself. Right now, when an exception occurs the service seems to halt but it still shows as "Started" in the Services window. Could someone please suggest the best way to stop the service so the "Started" doesn't appear

Thanks
 
The simplest solution to this is for your service to create a
ServiceController referring to itself and call its Stop method.
