ServiceController.Refresh(); problems with service and servicecontroller

I am using a service controller to start,stop and pause my service. now when i start my service(canpauseandcontinue set to true) i check whether the service is pausable and according enable or disable my pause unpause button. but now the problem is after calling servicecontroller.start() the servicecontroller.status wont update. i tried using servicecontroller.refresh() but still the status wont refresh. but now the funnier part is when i debug, after calling refresh the status is updated. so i m pretty much confused.

also in my service i have set the canpauseandcontinue true, when i try to override the onPause() and onContinue method i get an error that cannot find a suitable onPause and onContinue methods.

heres parts of my codes u can get an idea about the service code

public class ServiceTest : System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase
      {
            /// <summary>
            /// Required designer variable.

-----------------------------------

            static void Main()
            {
                  System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;

                  // More than one user Service may run within the same process. To add
                  // another service to this process, change the following line to
                  // create a second service object. For example,
                  //
                  // ServicesToRun = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[] {new Service1(), new MySecondUserService()};
                  //
                  ServicesToRun = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[] { new ServiceTest() };

                  System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
            }
---------------------------------
            /// <summary>
            /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
            /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
            /// </summary>
            private void InitializeComponent()
            {
                  //
                  // ServiceTest
                  //
                  this.AutoLog = false;
                  this.CanPauseAndContinue = true;
                  this.ServiceName = "ServiceTest";

            }
--------------------------------

            /// <summary>
            /// Pause this service.
            /// </summary>
            protected override void onPause()
            {
                  pause = true;
                  myLog.WriteEntry("Service Paused");
            }

heres the error i get for using the override in above method
ERROR::::
'servicetest.ServiceTest.onPause()': no suitable method found to override

Well, it's OnPause, with capital O. Every method in C# starts with a capital letter, it's not like Java
