Or do I have to pinvoke native code?
I don’t want the power status…well I do, but I don’t want to poll it all the time and would rather have an event fire.

No there is not. Generally an application is completely unaware of the power state. When the device suspends, code simply stops executing. When you resume, it starts again at the exact spot it left off.
You can hook into the power management system to get notifications, though be aware that you don’t have time to actually react, so it’s likely that your code can’t actually handle the ‘going to sleep’ event until after it wakes again.
Both These state transitions are exposed in managed functions in the Smart Device Framework‘s OpenNETCF.WindowsCE.PowerManager class.
