I want to shutdown a custom module after it has ran. Is there a way to programmatically shutdown (runtime status = stopped) a custom module using .Net?

Hi @Anonymous Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Thank you for posting this question here.

The ideal way to stop a IoT edge device module is by creating a deployment targeting the Edge device module and setting the Desired status of the module to stopped The detailed approach on how to achieve the same through Azure portal is provided in a similar question in the past. Please find the solution here - Correct way to stop and start custom modules in Azure IoT

Now, I understand you are trying to achieve the same through .Net. In order to do that, we can leverage the deployment API. One of ways to achieve this has been shared in a similar question - Azure IoT Edge stop a module programmatically You can test this approach and make any changes per your needs.
