PowerShell TeamFebruary 4, 2009Feb 4, 200902/4/09

There are some limitations on how the ISE interacts with console applications you need to be aware of, for apps like ftp and netsh.First of all, the ISE Runs console apps that don’t require user input just fine.For example, “ping www.microsoft.com” and “cmd /c dir /s”Piping also works fine in the ISE,For example, PS C:\Users\ibrar>

PowerShell TeamJanuary 26, 2009Jan 26, 200901/26/09

Cmdlets are high level, task-oriented abstractions. The implementation of cmdlets can talk to anything: Web services, COM objects, WMI objects, .NET objects – anything. Depending upon how developers design their API, they can make it easier or harder to write cmdlets. Now that you can write cmdlets in PowerShell

PowerShell_ISE Scripting: ConvertTo-Comment

PowerShell TeamDecember 31, 2008Dec 31, 200812/31/08

Let me combine a couple of things. 1) When I posted my PowerShell_ISE profile, I included a function Goto-Line that is now builtin to the ISE so I reposted the blog with this function commented out. I commented it out instead of deleting it because I wanted to provide an example of how to do it. 2) Vivek Sharma left a comment asked ab

PowerShell TeamDecember 30, 2008Dec 30, 200812/30/08

I messed up. First let me remind you that what you have are CTP bits and that CTP bits are subject to change. It turns out that we are tweaking the PowerShell_ISE object model and that the profile I posted does not work with CTP3. I’m sorry for that screw up.

[UDPATE - the original post had a script which did not work with CTP3 so I've replaced it with the correct version. Apologizes for the screw up.

In it he says, "Starting with version 2, a user can conceivably write new PowerShell cmdlets in PowerShell, using the built-in IDE, completely independently of Visual Studio." This is true but there is more to the story so here it is. PowerShell's Integrated Scripting En
