P/invoke on the RAS API, there is no managed way to do that.

The only managed wrapper for RAS I've found is at the following link:

http://www.codeproject.com/Purgatory/rasdemo.asp

This is an 'unedited contribution' to CodeProject, of a C# project
implementing a wrapper around the RAS API.. There's no accompanying article,
and the code is undocumented. However the parts of it I've used seem to work
OK, and this is the only such code I've found on the web. Download it and
give it a try.

I'm slowly going through the source code and documenting it, for my own
edification. If I ever get the documentation up to the standard I try to
shoot for, I may try to find a way to re-contribute it, with the permission
of, and attribution to, the original author .
