How to find Dependencies of a Window Services through C# code ?
If you click the properties of a window service, you will see the dependency tab.
I need to find this out through my code and display the dependencies on my screen.

Use ServiceController class (requires System.ServiceProcess reference). This code prints all services with all their depending-on services: static void Main(string[] args) { System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController[] services = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.GetServices(); int nameLen = 0; for (int i = 0; i nameLen = Math.Max(nameLen services[i].ServiceName.Length); string fmt = {0 + nameLen.ToString() + } ->; for (int i = 0; i { Console.Write(fmt services[i].ServiceName); System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController[] parents = services[i].ServicesDependedOn; for (int j = 0; j { Console.Write({0} j == 0 ?   :  ); try { Console.Write({0} parents[j].ServiceName); } catch { Console.Write( ); } } Console.WriteLine(); } }
