How can we wake the computer from standby, sleep and/or hibernate in a Windows 8 metro-style application?
I have tried using the code I had for my old Winforms and WPF apps and even read and tried many tutorials online but nothing works. Also when searching for this there appears to be no results pointing to any kind of documentation.
Windows RT does not expose such low level API if i am correct. Windows Store apps are for simple easy to use – mainly consumption apps.
You can however couple your windows store app with a ful windows app (desktop / traditional app) that your windows store app communicates with (WCF etc). The traditional app can do all it did before.
the only downside is that you cannot install your traditional app on Windows RT
