Since you are running xampp there is an easier solution. Xampp usually comes packaged with a few .bat file that when run do exactly what you want. For example mysql_start.bat when run will only start MySql server and nothing else, while mysql_stop.bat will stop it (and nothing else). There is also a apache_start.bat and a apache_stop.bat.

You can execute these scripts just as you would an exe:

Process c = new Process();
        c.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\xampp\mysql_start.bat";
        c.Start();
