How to run the msdtc service programmatically

I need to start the MSDTC service if it's not already running from within a C# windows application.
How can I achieve this ?

hi there

Can you explain a bit more about what you are trying to achieve?

Is the application running on the client or server?
Do you want MSDTC to run on the client or server?

Any reason why MSDTC can't be configured to run automatically?

net start "Distributed Transaction Coordinator" should start it on the local machine, but you may need additional rights to do this...

Look at System.Diagnostics.Process class for .NET
