Try this:


using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
...

[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
private static extern void PowerOffSystem();

Hi,

it works, but is it a save way to power off? I tested it on a HP iPAQ
HX4700. If I power off the device with this code, then you can see the
display getting darker and darker. If you you use e.g.: Battery Pack Pro to
power off, then the display is powered off immediately. What do you think
about this?

Well, you may try to turn it off by sending VK_OFF key. After that a
device will be turned off immediately:


keybd_event(VK_OFF, 0, 0, 0);
keybd_event(VK_OFF, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);


...

const int KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 2;
const int VK_OFF = 0xDF;

[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
private static extern void keybd_event(byte bVk, byte bScan, int
dwFlags, int dwExtraInfo);
