    When I get home tonight, I'll post a small code snippet. It's actually quite easy.

    Using Process.Start along with SHUTDOWN.EXE.

    Aye, you can do it that way or how I did it with Visual C++:

    Code:
    	if (timer1->Enabled == true)
    	{
    		if (comboBox1->Text == "Shutdown")
    		{
    			system("shutdown -s");
    			timer1->Enabled = false;
    		}
    		if (comboBox1->Text == "Restart")
    		{
    			system("shutdown -r");
    			timer1->Enabled = false;
    		}
    		if (comboBox1->Text == "Log Off")
    		{
    			system("shutdown -l");
    			timer1->Enabled = false;
    		}
    	}
    Enjoy.

    You could also use the ExitWindowsEx API or the InitiateSystemShutdown API, depending on which OS your'e on

    That's always has been my preference. That way I don't have to worry about taking on a dependency like "shutdown.exe".

    I don't see any dependency with using Shotdown.exe as long as it is Windows platform

    Haven't seen it changing names since long long time.

    Re: how can ShutDown Windows using c#.net

    Better figure out what version you're using...

    Is your PC going to shutdown in 10 YEARS?

    Code:
    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7100]
    Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
    
    C:\Users\David>shutdown /?
    Usage: shutdown [/i | /l | /s | /r | /g | /a | /p | /h | /e] [/f]
        [/m \\computer][/t xxx][/d [p|u:]xx:yy [/c "comment"]]
    
        No args    Display help. This is the same as typing /?.
        /?         Display help. This is the same as not typing any options.
        /i         Display the graphical user interface (GUI).
                   This must be the first option.
        /l         Log off. This cannot be used with /m or /d options.
        /s         Shutdown the computer.
        /r         Shutdown and restart the computer.
        /g         Shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is
                   rebooted, restart any registered applications.
        /a         Abort a system shutdown.
                   This can only be used during the time-out period.
        /p         Turn off the local computer with no time-out or warning.
                   Can be used with /d and /f options.
        /h         Hibernate the local computer.
                   Can be used with the /f option.
        /e         Document the reason for an unexpected shutdown of a computer.
        /m \\computer Specify the target computer.
        /t xxx     Set the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds.
                   The valid range is 0-315360000 (10 years), with a default of 30.
                   If the timeout period is greater than 0, the /f parameter is
                   implied.
        /c "comment" Comment on the reason for the restart or shutdown.
                   Maximum of 512 characters allowed.
        /f         Force running applications to close without forewarning users.
                   The /f parameter is implied when a value greater than 0 is
                   specified for the /t parameter.
        /d [p|u:]xx:yy  Provide the reason for the restart or shutdown.
                   p indicates that the restart or shutdown is planned.
                   u indicates that the reason is user defined.
                   If neither p nor u is specified the restart or shutdown is
                   unplanned.
                   xx is the major reason number (positive integer less than 256).
                   yy is the minor reason number (positive integer less than 65536).
