Manage ASP.NET Windows Service from a Web Application (browser)

I have number of windows service (around 10) all are developed in ASP.NET C#. And are installed on Windows Web Server 2008. If I wanted to start or stop the service I have to log in to the Windows Web Server and then Start/Stop the service.

enter image description here

I wanted to manage this activity through a Web Portal which I wants to create in ASP.NET C#.

Does anybody any idea or have any reference that how it can be done?

If your web portal will be published on the same machine with services than you can use ServiceController class https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.serviceprocess.servicecontroller(v=vs.110).aspx

You can create a web service that controls the service via rest calls and run that web service on the server. Then use jquery to make rest calls from a web page ( on that server) using $.post() or $.ajax() or JavaScript native xmlhttprequest

Visual studio web has project templates for web services that can get you started. The service start stop can be using this example
