how do start/stop services using net stop command in c# for example
Dim pstart As New ProcessStartInfo
Dim path As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System)
Dim p As New Process
pstart.FileName = path + "\cmd.exe"
pstart.UseShellExecute = False
pstart.CreateNoWindow = True
pstart.WorkingDirectory = path
pstart.FileName = "cmd.exe"
pstart.Arguments = " net start mysql"
p.StartInfo = pstart
p.Start()
i have used process class but no result

You might want to take a look at the System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController class, which provides a managed interface to Windows' Services.
In this case:
var mysql = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController("mysql");
if (mysql .Status == ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped) {
mysql.Start();
}

You need to pass the "/c" switch to cmd.exe
pstart.Arguments = "/c net start mysql"

Instead of using a crude method like Process.Start, you can use the ServiceController class to start/stop a particular service on a local/remote machine.
using System.ServiceProcess;
ServiceController controller = new ServiceController();
controller.MachineName = ".";
controller.ServiceName = "mysql";
// Start the service
controller.Start();
// Stop the service
controller.Stop();
