vb.net: Greetings,

Is there a sample code that shows how to restart a windows service using
VB.Net?

Hi

You may try to see if the code below helped you.
Imports System.ServiceProcess
Module Module2
Public Sub Main()
Dim sc As New ServiceController("Themes")
sc.Stop()
Console.ReadLine()
sc.Start()
End Sub
End Module

Sean,
I use code the following, which is similar to Peter's code, to "Restart" a
service:

Dim controller As New ServiceController("Themes")
controller.Stop()
controller.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped)
controller.Start()

Note the WaitForStatus waits until the service has come to a complete halt
before starting it again.

Hope this helps
Jay
