ServiceController.Start(string[])

Question

I'm trying to start a service that has a argument that specifies a port number. For example, using the DOS net I would do the following:

net start "SERVICENAME" /"ARGUMENT"

How would I do the same in C# using Service.Controller.Start()?

Answer 1

This should work:

var sc = new ServiceController() { Name = "SERVICENAME" };
sc.Start(new string[] { "ARGUMENT" });
sc.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running);
