QueryServiceConfig (advapi32)
.
C# Signature:
[DllImport("advapi32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError=true)]
public static extern Boolean QueryServiceConfig(IntPtr hService, IntPtr intPtrQueryConfig, UInt32 cbBufSize, out UInt32 pcbBytesNeeded);
VB Signature:
Declare Function QueryServiceConfig Lib "advapi32.dll" (TODO) As TODO
User-Defined Types:
None.
Notes:
None.
Tips & Tricks:
I have opted to list my changes here as the bulk of this code is largely correct, the only problem is with the lpDependencies field within the QUERY_SERVICE_CONFIG structure, which as the API documentation states, is not in fact a single string, but a double null terminated array of strings.
Therefore the correct declaration for this field is:
public IntPtr lpDependencies;//you will manually have to marshal these strings out of the pointer (I will add examples when i have worked out the best approach)
Another point is that all the string types should in fact be marshalled as System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.LPTStr, and change the struct layout attribute to [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential,CharSet=CharSet.Auto)] this way you will gleam maximum compatibility (ie support older operating systems like windows 95)
Sample Code:
// Get service executable and run it in the console. Change "Name of service" to your service name.
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
#region P/Invoke QueryService
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public class QUERY_SERVICE_CONFIG
{
[MarshalAs(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.U4)]
public UInt32 dwServiceType;
[MarshalAs(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.U4)]
public UInt32 dwStartType;
[MarshalAs(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.U4)]
public UInt32 dwErrorControl;
[MarshalAs(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.LPWStr)]
public String lpBinaryPathName;
[MarshalAs(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.LPWStr)]
public String lpLoadOrderGroup;
[MarshalAs(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.U4)]
public UInt32 dwTagID;
[MarshalAs(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.LPWStr)]
public String lpDependencies;
[MarshalAs(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.LPWStr)]
public String lpServiceStartName;
[MarshalAs(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.LPWStr)]
public String lpDisplayName;
};
IntPtr serviceHandle = OpenService(databaseHandle, "Name of service", SERVICE_QUERY_CONFIG);
if(serviceHandle == IntPtr.Zero)
throw new System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException("Error OpenService\n");
UInt32 dwBytesNeeded = 0;
// Allocate memory for struct.
IntPtr ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(4096);
bool success = QueryServiceConfig(serviceHandle, ptr, 4096, out dwBytesNeeded);
QUERY_SERVICE_CONFIG qUERY_SERVICE_CONFIG = new QUERY_SERVICE_CONFIG();
// Copy
Marshal.PtrToStructure(ptr, qUERY_SERVICE_CONFIG);
// Free memory for struct.
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(ptr);
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName = qUERY_SERVICE_CONFIG.lpBinaryPathName;
psi.Arguments = "-r";
Process p = Process.Start(psi);

The problem with the lpdependencies is already solved within .NET 2.0 (?) using public ServiceController[] DependentServices { get; }
However, to make live easier, this helper function avoids all the DllImports. It's not necessary to support Win9x since this OS, does not support these functions at all. Therefore the Unicode and exactspelling declaration (it kinda speeds things up)
[DllImport(ADVAPI32, EntryPoint = "QueryServiceConfigW", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = true)]

Is there any chance to get the password of the current username?
Background is that I want to update, fix or patch an existing service automatically. I am not interested in the password. I just want to restore the identity configuration of the service after uninstalling the old and installing the new service.
The QueryServiceConfig2 function retrieves the optional configuration parameters of the specified service. At present, these are the service description and the failure actions.

An IntPtr is a pointer to a memory location (unmanaged) that adapts to the platform it is running on (64-bit, etc.) UNLIKE a standard int/Integer. You should always use this type for unmanaged calls that require it, even though an int will appear to work on your development machine.
