how to reboot, or shutdown the computer ?

[Herbert VON GRÜNENWALD]

in c++ it was ExitWindowsEx()

thanks

In C#, it is still the same ExitWindowsEx API call.

class Class1
{
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern bool ExitWindowsEx(uint uFlags, uint
dwReason);

[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ExitWindowsEx(1, 0); //this will cause the system to
shut down.
}
}

uFlags
4 = Force any applications to quit instead of prompting the user to close
them.
0 = Log off the network.
8 = Shut down the system and, if possible, turn the computer off.
2 = Perform a full reboot of the system.
1 = Shut down the system.

so there is no C# class that encapsulates this API ?

Herbert,

No, there is not. You could use the classes in the System.Management
namespace and access the method on the WMI class, but it is just as
roundabout as using the function through the P/Invoke layer.

Hope this helps.

Yes there is, you could use System.Management classes and the WMI class
Win32_OperatingSystem.

public static void Main() {
ManagementBaseObject outParams = null;
ManagementClass os = new ManagementClass("Win32_OperatingSystem");
os.Get();
os.Scope.Options.EnablePrivileges = true; // enables required security
privilege.
ManagementBaseObject inParams = os.GetMethodParameters("Win32Shutdown");
inParams["Flags"] = "1"; // System shutdown
inParams["Reserved"] = "0";
foreach (ManagementObject mo in os.GetInstances())
outParams = mo.InvokeMethod("Win32Shutdown",
inParams, null);

Did you test your code? If you actualy did you would have noticed that this
doesn't work.
The reason is simple, you have to enable the "SeShutdown" privilege using
PInvoke, something more complicated than calling ExitWindowsEx.

Nicholas ,

I have to disagree, because the simple PInvoke snip is not enough to invoke
a shutdown, you need to enable the SeShutdown privilege for this to work,
and this is non-trivial using PInvoke. System.Management is definitely the
way to go.

Willy.
