Is there a way to suspend Bitlocker for a drive programmatically from .NET?
Edit: Found a better answer.
There’s actually a WMI class called Win32_EncryptableVolume that could probably be used to do this in a nice way. It has a
Decryptmethod that might be useful.Old answer below here
In Windows 7, look at the tool
manage-bde.exe, in Vista look at the scriptmanage-bde.wsf.Assuming that they can do what you want, you should be able to call them with the relevant parameters from your .Net app.
