Handle SessionEnded event (described in Sergey Alexandrovich answer), and to stop service, you can use:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("sc", "stop " + "serviceName");

No, unfortunately, this is wrong way to start a service. This way, it won't be started as service. You can make a service auto, to auto-start when the system is loaded.

Actually OS should try to stop all services on reboot - and OnShutdown is called, if exists. So I am not sure I understand what you want. By the way SessionEnded occurs on user logoff also, and I ad this can lead to interesting results when this application runs on a server.

Of course this even should be filtered by Reason:

But of course you are right about OnShutdown...

Solution 2

You need to use native APIs to change the startup type.. More details here http://peterkellyonline.blogspot.com/2011/04/configuring-windows-service.html[^]

BTW why don't you make the startup type as 'Manual' . It will stop on reboot and will wait till it is manually started ?

Solution 3

In Run type services.msc --> press enter -> got to your Services in the displayed services and right click --> properties --> StartUpType set as Manual. Then You have to start your services manually when ever your system reboots
