I don't think there isn't anything in the .NET Framework to shut down the
system, but you can always use PInvoke and the ExitWindows() system call.

Thanks, unfortunately, this is a little beyond my capabilities, I don't know
how to use any Win32 api calls from .net.

You might want to look at WMI, you can shut down pcs locally or remotely
with it. Look under System.Management for the framework classes and then if
you have MSDN Library look under Setup and System Administration/Windows
Management Instrumentation. This will show you all the classes you can
access. System shutdown is under Win32_OperatingSystem

Have a look at this very handy free library (i think, but i'm not sure, that
it even comes with the source code):

Very cool, much thanks. They were nice enough to supply the source code.
