Question

I have a button in C#:

private void button15_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    StartService();
}

and I try to call the method:

public static void StartService(string serviceName, int timeoutMilliseconds)
{
    ServiceController service = new ServiceController(serviceName);
    try
    {
        TimeSpan timeout = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(timeoutMilliseconds);

        service.Start();
        service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, timeout);
    }
    catch
    {
        // ...
    }
}

But I am not sure if the call method is correct on the button

Answer 1

You would need to provide the parameters for startservice. At the moment, Im very doubtful this would compile.

Eg

StartService("MyService",20000);
