Using return true and false

Mike Smith

Hello,

I'm not very familar with using return true and false.

I found this code and would like to understand how to best use it.

public static bool IsServiceInstalled(string serviceName)

{

// get list of Windows services

ServiceController[] services = ServiceController.GetServices();

// try to find service name

foreach (ServiceController service in services)

{

if (service.ServiceName == "ServiceNameHere")

return true;

MessageBox.Show("true");

}

return false;

}

So, can someone show me a simple example of using this on say a form load.

Here is what I came up with so far.

ServiceController[] services = ServiceController.GetServices();

If (services == "ServiceName"

{

MessageBox.Show("Service: Found");

}

else

{

MessageBox.Show("Service: Not Found");

}

Thanks for the help!
