Power control of windows: How to reboot and wake from hibernate/standby?

Hi everyone:

I have only found

system.windows.forms.application.setsuspendstate

method could make system into standby or hibernate state, but I don't
know how to reboot the system via .net method.
Must I call API functions to reboot the system

And I want to know how to wake up the system after hibernate/standby
For example, if my user input "3" and hibernate, the system should
enter hibernate and wake up itself after 3 minutes.

Is that a method could do this in .net framework
or which API should I call

Thanks very much!!!

It should be convertable fairly easily - its a call the Windows API's only.

The thing to remember is that Long in VB6 is Integer in VB.Net. Using Long in VB.net declarations will result in a exception when trying to use it.

Might I suggest to find the declaration statements for many of the windows API's

I'm not familiar with VB6, but I'll try to traslate it , If I got the last solution,

I'll paste the code here.

The code you will thing is writing in VB6 but you can try to convert to VB.NET. If you can convert please let me know. Thanks.

Um, I don't think there are any program running in hibernate (or suspend) state: it would probably be a BIOS function to do something like that (e.g. WOL - Wake-On-Lan). So, a program would not be able to wake itself up.
