Change service credentials using ServiceController

Question

Is there a way to do this, but instead of using WMI which is not currently working in my environment, using ServiceController Class.

using (ManagementObject service = new ManagementObject(new ManagementPath(objPath)))
                {
                    object[] wmiParams = new object[11];
                    wmiParams[6] = _username;
                    wmiParams[7] = _password;
                    service.InvokeMethod("Change", wmiParams);
                    Thread.Sleep(2000);
                    //check if new credentials in order
                    //Console.WriteLine("Service credentials changed");
                }

Thanks!

The ServiceController class doesn't let you change service credentials. If WMI isn't an option, you can P/Invoke ChangeServiceConfig instead. You can find a C# example here:
