I have the following code of a console application in C # to start the SQLSERVER 2016 service, but I could not, here is the code and the code error.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.ServiceProcess;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string myServiceName = "MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS"; //service name of SQL Server Express
string status; //service status (For example, Running or Stopped)
Console.WriteLine("Service: " + myServiceName);
//display service status: For example, Running, Stopped, or Paused
ServiceController mySC = new ServiceController(myServiceName);
try
{
status = mySC.Status.ToString();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Service not found. It is probably not installed. [exception=" + ex.Message + "]");
Console.ReadLine();
return;
}
//display service status: For example, Running, Stopped, or Paused
Console.WriteLine("Service status : " + status);
//if service is Stopped or StopPending, you can run it with the following code.
if (mySC.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped) | mySC.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.StopPending))
{
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Starting the service...");
mySC.Start();
mySC.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running);
Console.WriteLine("The service is now " + mySC.Status.ToString());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error in starting the service: " + ex.Message);
}
}
Console.WriteLine("Press a key to end the application...");
Console.ReadLine();
return;
}
}
}
and here is the result of the application.
Do you have any idea why I can not start that service? thanks in advance
