How can a windows service stop itself?

[Guest]

Hi

I am writing a windows service using VB.net. As part of my error handling I want to stop the service if a fatal error occurs. I can not find any information on how to get a windows service to stop itself

Does anyone know how to do this

Thanks

Jef

Have you look at "ServiceController" class.
There is a nice article about Service at:
