Do you know how to wake up computer from hibernation or sleeping mode(in windows) by programming under C#?
Let me explain my problem. I created a simple programme which I want to run in the morning in different time. My problem is I don't know how to programme it to wake up computer and run programme . Every evening I want just add to my programme time to wake up. I know that under windows it's possible to do it by schedule task, but I want to do it automaticly.

Will you help me?

I've not been able to get Windows Scheduler to even do this - Windows Scheduler will run if the computer is on or awake, but if it's in suspend or hibernate mode it doesn't wake the computer up. The Wake-On-LAN feature is something that's hardware triggered - the BIOS must support Wake-On-LAN in order for traffic to the network card to wake up the motherboard which in turn triggers the computer to boot. When the computer is in suspend/hibernate there is no software processing completed so the only way I can see this being possible is by hardware.

I would love to hear from someone else that this is possible, but I can't see how logically it can.
