This class will do it

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
 
Public Class DeviceReboot
    <DllImport("coredll")> _
    Private Shared Function SetSystemPowerState( _
        ByVal psState As String, _
        ByVal StateFlags As Integer, _
        ByVal Options As Integer) As Integer
    End Function
 
    Const POWER_STATE_ON As Integer = &H10000
    Const POWER_STATE_OFF As Integer = &H20000
    Const POWER_STATE_SUSPEND As Integer = &H200000
    Const POWER_STATE_RESET As Integer = &H800000
 
    Public Sub New()
 
    End Sub
 
    Public Function Reboot()
        Try
            SetSystemPowerState(Nothing, POWER_STATE_RESET, 0)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Throw New Exception(ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Function
End Class

just a as a point to note.....

the reboot worked fine for me on the devices we use Psion Workabout Pro,
but i've also tried it on the PSC Falcon and the reboot option didnt work.

i have other code to make this work if you are using PSC and the class posted above doesnt work
