Canceling Windows Service Start

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I've written a Windows Service using C#, but I cannot seem to figure out how
to cancel or prevent the service from starting under certain conditions.
For example, in the OnStart I read in some configuration settings, and if
anything is either empty, or invalid (such as a DB DataSource string or a
missing diredtory, etccc) I don't want the servie to start. So how would I
cancel the start up?
