Question

I’m devloping one application which manages our custom made windows service. I’m using ServiceController object to get all services, but after that how I will differentiate which is our custom service and which is system service?

I am using following code:

ListViewItem datalist;                  

services = ServiceController.GetServices();                                     
ServiceList.Items.Clear();  
foreach(ServiceController service in services)
{                                       
    datalist = new System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem(service.ServiceName.ToString());   

    datalist.SubItems.Add(service.DisplayName);    
    datalist.SubItems.Add(service.Status.ToString());                   
    ServiceList.Items.Add(datalist);                                    
}

Put the name of your services in app.config. And read those when your application is started.
