Wow. Start here[^], but also buy a VERY basic ASP.NET book and read it, so you start to have some basic idea of what it is, and what it does. Once you understand what is meant by the term ASP.NET, you will understand why you can't possibly use it to turn any computer off.

Don't you want to send a ctrl-alt-delete sequence? Seems like that should be possible. Through ASP, I have no idea though.

That's not going to turn off another computer...

This is not possible using ASP.NET. Client hardware and the Windows system is off-limits to your ASP.NET code, as well as any code running client-side in a browser.

Maybe it is possible. You can use vb6.0 or any tools to use win32 api to shutdown pc. If you want to use ASP.Net you must crate ActiveX that have ability to shutdown pc and you embeded it in ASP.Net page. And tell user on other machine to load your page.
