Error in Start/Stop Window Service from ASP.NET page

Question

I created a windows service in C# and it is executing fine. And i have a ASP.NET application from that i'm trying to access (start/stop) it. It was working fine in my local machine and when i deploy it in my server it was not working. when i click the button to start stop the service gives an error:

Access is denied error message'

Answer 1

Run application pool that hosts/runs your ASP.NET application under user who has enough permissions.

Note that it's a potential security hole!

Instead I'd add a layer like web service available only locally to delegate such task.
