Set the System Sleep/standby timeout programmatically

Question

I need to set the sleep/standby timeout programmatically for my device. (ie when it sits idle for a while it turns off.)

It defaults to 120 and I have a tool that let me change it, but I want to change it via my program (dynamically).

Any ideas on how to do that?

Read Power Manager Suspend Timeouts on MSDN. Make sure to set the global event they mentioned at the end of the article to make the settings take effect.
