How to get the startup type of a service with C #

Question

As my client is not accustomed to using the windows services screen, I'm wondering what I do to get the type of startup of a service.

It is as simple as using the StartType property of the ServiceController class :

ServiceController sc = new ServiceController("Simple Service");
Console.WriteLine(sc.StartType.ToString());

where "Simple Service" is the name of the service you want to get the details of.

More examples of using this class can be found here.

This option does not appear for me – Dionatas Firmino Feb 25 '18 at 14:02
Which option, `StartType`? If so, please upgrade your app .net version to .net 4.6.1. It is only available since then as stated in the docs. – Peter Bons Feb 25 '18 at 14:04
