Restart Computer (Windows XP) from VB.Net Program

[Sarah]

What is the best way to close my program gracefully and have the computer
restart on a Windows XP system?

[Cor Ligthert]

Sarah,

I think the best way is to go to start and than choose the restart icon in
your language.

When you want to do it without that start menu you can maybe try this one.

I never tried it.

However hopes it helps you,

:-)

Can you walk me through the steps to add the WindowsController class for
VB.NET to my VB.Net app? When I add the "TestApp.vb" and
"WindowsController.vb" files to my existing project, I get errors in
TestApp.vb that "Imports Org.Mentalis.Utilities" cannot be found.

Remove the 'Namespace...' and 'End Namespace' in "WindowsController.vb", and
the line 'Imports Org.Mentalis.Utilities' in "TestApp.vb".
