Check if ServiceControllerStatus is NULL vb.net

Question

how would I check if ServiceControllerStatus is NULL/value does not exist with the code I have as follows:

Dim controller As New ServiceController("value")
            If controller.Status = ServiceControllerStatus.Running Then
                ListBox1.Items.Add("Value Service running")
            Else
                Label2.Text = ""
            End If

Is there an "empty or NULL" function I could use?

Thanks
