How to shutdown computer in vb.net

Try this code :


'Add System.Management Reference in your vb.net program

Imports System
Imports System.Management
Public Class clsWMI
Private obj As Object
Public Enum ShutDownOptions
LogOff = 0
SHUTDOWN = 1
REBOOT = 2
FORCE = 4
POWEROFF = 8
End Enum
Public WriteOnly Property ShutDown() As Integer
'Value should be ShutDownOptions
Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
For Each obj In GetObject("winmgmts:{(shutdown)}").ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
obj.Win32Shutdown(Value)
Next
End Set
End Property
end Class

'Create a new form and add following code in calling procedure which will shutdown your comuter

Dim obj As New clsWMI
obj.ShutDown = obj.ShutDownOptions.SHUTDOWN + obj.ShutDownOptions.FORCE

It works Gr8 !!!!

Despite the fact that it probably does untold damage to several key systems, yeah I expect it does exactly what it says on the tin.

You'll excuse me if I don't run it ;)

I advise caution to anyone thinking of running that code.

Could you please explain what kind untold damage to several key systems ? Since this is managed code and we are using WMI. But If you know something I would like to know.

thank you.
