            si.Controller.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running);

Hi, there could be many reasons why starting a service fails, e.g. your code is in an aspx page; or you don't have the necessary privileges (are you running as admin? is this Vista?); does the service exist, and is its status "Stopped"? etc. :)

I use ListBoxes for line-oriented text output (not TextBoxes), and PictureBoxes for pictures (not drawings).
