ACPI and .Net - .NET Framework

Bob Finger

Anybody know where I can find information on accessing the ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) from VB.Net or C#?
Specifically, I need to create a service that reports on the battery
status of a tablet PC.

TIA,

Bob,
you can do this via the WMI classes in .NET.
I haven't got any code that does that, but do a search for WMI and .NET for
some code, and look at the WMI documentation of msdn.microsoft.com
Cheers,
Thomas
