Show us your existing approach (is it with SetSystemPowerState)? After
SetCleanRebootFlag, send IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT with
KernelIoControl.

Thanks for the quick answer!
the existing approach is:

int IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT = 0x101003C;

int bytesReturned = 0;

SetCleanRebootFlag();

KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT, IntPtr.Zero, 0, IntPtr.Zero, 0, ref
bytesReturned );



[DllImport("Coredll.dll")]

extern static int KernelIoControl(int dwIoControlCode, IntPtr lpInBuf, int
nInBufSize, IntPtr lpOutBuf, int nOutBufSize , ref int lpBytesReturned );

[DllImport("Coredll.dll")]

extern static void SetCleanRebootFlag();

public HardResetHandler()

Unfortunately, SetCleanRebootFlag does not work with the new persistent
storage file system on WM 5.0 so there's no way to programmatically do a
hard-reset. We're looking into ways to solve this in future releases.

Many Thanks

We will wait for future releases...

It sounds strange that there's no way to programmatically do a
hard-reset.
Take a look at the program Clearstorage.exe. This does the same as a
hard-reset. You will find it in the windows-folder.

That must have come from the OEM of your device - it's not standard.
