Rebooting

[A]

Anyone have any code to reboot from a C# app?

As far as I know, there is no managed .NET support for this.
However, you can use the "ExitWindow sEx" or "InitiateShutdo wn" or
"InitiateShutdo wnEx" Windows API calls.
The first one should be used if initiated from an interactive application,
the last two should be used from
a server application,

Hi,

Thank you for posting in the community!

Based on my understanding, you want to use C# to reboot your computer.
=============== =============== =============
Based on my experience, .Net class library does not support the function of
rebooting. You need to get this done through P/invoke some WIN32 APIs.

Bennie has provided you the functions you may use, please look the detailed
remarks in MSDN "PlatForm SDK"

=============== =============== =============
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to post it in the group. I am standing by to be
of assistance.

You can use the System.Manageme nt interfaces to reboot a machine. This uses
WMI (I think it stands for Windows Management Instrumentation ). This will
also allow you to reboot remote machines too if you wanted to.

Here's some code, may need some changes, I just copy/pasted from my code. If
the current user has permissions to reboot the machine, you can comment out
the connection_opti ons stuff also.

using System.Manageme nt;

/// ----------------- Need class dedfinition...

int result;

result = 0;

string host;

host = "LOCALHOST" ;

ConnectionOptio ns Connect_options = new ConnectionOptio ns();

Connect_options .Username = user; // enter username

Connect_options .Password = password; // enter password

ManagementScope scope = new
ManagementScope ("\\\\"+host+"\ \root\\cimv2",C onnect_options) ;

scope.Options.E nablePrivileges = true;

scope.Connect() ;

System.Manageme nt.ObjectQuery oq = new System.Manageme nt.ObjectQuery( "SELECT
* FROM Win32_Operating System");

ManagementObjec tSearcher query1 = new ManagementObjec tSearcher(scope ,oq);
ManagementObjec tCollection queryCollection 1 = query1.Get();

foreach( ManagementObjec t mo in queryCollection 1 )

{

string[] ss={"6","0"};

mo.InvokeMethod ("Win32Shutdown ",ss);

Console.WriteLi ne(mo.ToString( ));

}
