Examples

The following example uses the ServiceController class to display the services that are running on the local computer.

array<ServiceController^>^scServices = ServiceController::GetServices();

// Display the list of services currently running on this computer.
Console::WriteLine(  "Services running on the local computer:" );
for each (ServiceController^ scTemp in scServices)
{
   if ( scTemp->Status == ServiceControllerStatus::Running )
   {
      // Write the service name and the display name
      // for each running service.
      Console::WriteLine();
      Console::WriteLine(  "  Service :        {0}", scTemp->ServiceName );
      Console::WriteLine(  "    Display name:    {0}", scTemp->DisplayName );

      // Query WMI for additional information about this service.
      // Display the start name (LocalSystem, etc) and the service
      // description.
      ManagementObject^ wmiService;
      String^ objPath;
      objPath = String::Format( "Win32_Service.Name='{0}'", scTemp->ServiceName );
      wmiService = gcnew ManagementObject( objPath );
      if ( wmiService )
      {
         wmiService->Get();
         Object^ objStartName = wmiService["StartName"];
         Object^ objDescription = wmiService["Description"];
         if ( objStartName )
         {
            Console::WriteLine(  "    Start name:      {0}", objStartName->ToString() );
         }
         if ( objDescription )
         {
            Console::WriteLine(  "    Description:     {0}", objDescription->ToString() );
         }
      }
   }
}

      Console.WriteLine("    Start name:      {0}", wmiService["StartName"]);
      Console.WriteLine("    Description:     {0}", wmiService["Description"]);
   }
}

   Dim scServices() As ServiceController
   scServices = ServiceController.GetServices()

   Console.WriteLine("Services running on the local computer:")

   Dim scTemp As ServiceController
   For Each scTemp In  scServices

         ' Write the service name and the display name
         ' for each running service.
