use the assembly reference as shown below:It works

System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startinfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(“shutdown.exe”, “-s”);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(startinfo);

“are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference”
this is your problem exactly as you have to reference System.Diagnostics in order to use ProcessStartInfo class

could you please tell me the proper syntax for shutdown….whenever i try to do this, it shows this error ” The type or namespace name ‘ProcessStartInfo’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) “
