How to restart from Standby or Hibernation

I am trying to implement both a startup and shutdown function via USB commands. I have been able to send my PC into either Standby or Hibernate power states using (.NET 2.0) Application.

ShuttingDown = Application.SetSuspendState(PowerState.Suspend,true,false);

Is there a similar method for waking the PC from Standby or Hibernation I was under the impression that while in Hibernation mode the processor was stopped (ie the application was not running). So, is it even possible to wake a machine from either of these two states via software

    I have reached the same conclusion re: hibernation. However, in standby some USB devices are allowed by the OS to wake the system. Is this done in BIOS, or is there some Windows interaction with this process Since the processor is "sleeping" it must be a BIOS process. Can anyone shed any light on this

    In hibernation, the computer is turned completely off, as if you went to shutdown. However, it stores the contents of RAM onto the HDD. When it is booted back up, it reads the memory dump back in. As far as the rest of the computer is concerned, it was (and really is) a shut down.
