Webservice running

[GB]

Is there a way to test that a webservice is available before attempting to
call it?

Add a reference to ServiceProcess and check out the following
ServiceController class

System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.GetServices

There might well be, but would it not be "better" to assume that the
WebService /will/ be available (normal Flow of Execution) and Catch
the Exception that will be thrown on the odd occasion that it isn't?

It is just as valid to test that the service is running as it is to catch an
exception when it is not.
