C#: send ctrl+c to console program started with Process.Start()?

Question

I can't figure out how to simulate sending Ctrl+C to an external program. When I run the program manually through CMD, when I press ctrl+c it will abort and ask me if I want to save before it shuts down completely. I'm trying to simulate this through C# but it doesn't seem to work.

This is what I am doing now:

        // Create new process object
        process = new Process();

        // Setup event handlers
        process.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
        process.OutputDataReceived += OutputDataReceivedEvent;
        process.ErrorDataReceived += ErrorDataReceivedEvent;
        process.Exited += ProgramExitedEvent;

        // Setup start info
        ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo
        {
            FileName = ExePath,
            UseShellExecute = false, // Must be false to redirect IO
            RedirectStandardOutput = false,
            RedirectStandardError = false,
            RedirectStandardInput = true,
            Arguments = arguments
        };

        process.StartInfo = psi;

        // Start the program
        process.Start();

        process.StandardInput.Write( "\x3" ); // 0x3 is Ctrl+C according to ASCII table

The program doesn't respond to this and just continues. Is the problem that Windows actually doesn't send Ctrl+C to the input stream when doing Ctrl+C in the console, but instead sends an "interrupt" to the process? I thought that sending "\x3" to the input stream is EXACTLY what Windows does when one presses Ctrl+C in the console. Am I wrong?
