The DependentServices array represents the services that the system stops if your application calls Stop for this service.

The following example uses the ServiceController class to display the set of services that are dependent on the Event Log service.

ServiceController^ sc = gcnew ServiceController(  "Event Log" );
array<ServiceController^>^scServices = nullptr;
if ( sc )
{
   scServices = sc->DependentServices;
}

if ( sc && scServices )
{
   // Display the list of services dependent on the Event Log service. 
   if ( scServices->Length == 0 )
   {
      Console::WriteLine(  "There are no services dependent on {0}", sc->ServiceName );
   }
   else
   {
      Console::WriteLine(  "Services dependent on {0}:", sc->ServiceName );
      for each (ServiceController^ scTemp in scServices)
      {
         Console::WriteLine(" {0}", scTemp->DisplayName);
      }
   }
}
