Dear sirs
I want to know how can I shutdown or restart my computer
using C#
Also I want to know how can I open any windows program
using C# (EX: opening the windows calculator from my
application)

thanks
Mohammed
 
You can use ExitWindowsEx() Win32 API (thru PInvoke) to shutdown/restart the
computer.

For opening other apps, you can use Process.Start() method.

Place it wherever you want! If you want the user to shut down the computer
(or launch Calculator) by clicking a button, place the code in the button's
_Click() event, etc...
