I don't know how to put system to standby, but for
shutting down the system, you can use PlatformInvoke to
call a windows API - ExitWindowsEx() defined in user32.dll
There must be some api's similar to this in the same
dll....

WMI.

Take the Win32_OperatingSystem Class, check for the Primary Instance and
then invoke the Win32ShutDown Method with apropriate parameters.

How about try SetSuspendState() from powrprof.dll

[DllImport("powrprof.dll")]
private static extern bool SetSuspendState(bool Hibernate, bool
ForceCritical, bool DisableWakeEvent);

but u need to get the window's Privilege first before u can invoke this..
