Use the ServiceController class to do whatever it is that you want to do.

What namespace?

you have to add this line at the top of your .vb file:
Imports System.ServiceProcess

Solution 2

System.Diagnostic.Process.Start("sqlservr.exe"); insert it into an event and yr sql server will start whenever you want.

try
{
ServiceController controller = new ServiceController();
controller.MachineName = "Machine-Name";
controller.ServiceName = "MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS";

if (controller.Status == ServiceControllerStatus.Running)
controller.Stop();
controller.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped);
controller.Start();

}
catch (Exception)
{

}

the above code will stop the Sqlserver.exe if it running other wise Start the same..
