  Hi

  If the person you are intending to give this to already has the .NET Framework installed and the only code you are using is that posted then you could just give them the executable file that resides in your project\bin directory. Alternatively, you can create a setup package by adding a Setup and Deployment project to your solution.

  This is what I have now:
  may be I should have a timer or something so that this gets checked all the time
  instead of using the load event.
  Thanks

  private void monitorForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  ServiceController sc = new ServiceController("Lotus");

  if ((sc.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped)) ||

  (sc.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.StopPending)))

  {

  // Start the service if the current status is stopped.

  Console.WriteLine("Starting the Telnet service...");

  sc.Start();

  }

  // Refresh and display the current service status.

  sc.Refresh();

  }

  Hi

  If you go to the computer management section of your computer and select the Services node you will see the name of the Lotus Domino Service. This is the name that you would use in place of "Messenger" when instantiating the ServiceController object.

  Hi

  I would imagine that a timer would be more than adequate for this, and the code would go into the Tick event of the timer.

  Hi

  You can use the ServiceController object to query the status of a service and start it if it is stopped. The following example checks the status of the Messenger service and if it is stopped will start it. This requires a reference be made to the System.ServiceProcess object:

  Dim controller As New ServiceController("Messenger")

  'Determine the state of the "Messenger" service
  Select Case controller.Status
  Case ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped
  'Start the service
  controller.Start()
  End Select
  controller.Dispose()

  Hi

  What operating system are you using If it is XP or Windows 2000 or later then you can right click on "My Computer" and from the context menu select "Management". You will then be presented with the MMC (Microsoft Management Console) window and on the left hand side will have a tree where you can access all the different management options such as the "Event Viewer" and "Device Manager". You should also see a node labelled "Services and Applications", within this node you will find an entry called "Services". Selecting this will then display a list of all services registered on your computer.

  I have set the timer to check every five seconds.
  How do I create a setup so that I can send something like .msi or .exe for the person to instal on his machine please

  Hi

  Yes, you should be able to. The following link ServiceController Constructor is from MSDN2 and if you have a look at the ServiceController (string) overload entry you will see that the code is very similar to what I posted.

  Hi

  No, all you need to do is add a reference to the System.ServiceProcess.dll and then use the code that I posted. To add a reference, right click on your project within the Solution Explorer and select Add Reference and then from the Add Reference Dialog scroll down to System.ServiceProcess.dll and press the Select button and then press the Ok button. You will then need to add the following Imports statement to the top of your code:

  Imports System.ServiceProcess

  My apologies as I had omitted that little fact in my earlier post.
