How to open vm-console through api in C#

Is it possible to open vm console through api ?

In powercli , we use Open-VMConsoleWindow to perform this task.

Is there a method in api through which the open vm console can be done ?

please suggest some ways....Examples would be of great help !!

Thanks.

This method pops up a message box saying :
