Introducing the Windows 7 Resource Kit PowerShell Pack

Since I work on the PowerShell team, I’ve been lucky enough to get a couple of years jump start on producing PowerShell V2 scripts and modules.  With every new script I write in V2 I get more and more amazed by the possibilities in PowerShell.  I’ve discovered how to do many cool things that, as some of my colleagues outside of ...

Checkout Out-WPF

PowerShell Team
Joel (Jaykul) Bennett has a cool post HERE where he is experimenting with some GUI scripting toolkits and a utility Out-WPF.  You can also checkout a Screencast of Out-WPF working HERE.  It is very cool and very short so give it a look-see. Scripting GUIs with PowerShell is going to be a REALLY BIG DEAL going forward. Jeffrey ...

Windows PowerShell CTP2 to CTP3 Conversion Guide

December 23, 2008 Dec 23, 2008 12/23/08
PowerShell Team
I write a lot of scripts, and, since I blog some of what I write, my home computer has been running Windows PowerShell CTP2 since it came out.  Since CTP3 has a number of changes from CTP2, I've got to update my home script library to work with CTP3.  While this guide might not have every change that happened in between CTP2 and CTP3...

WPF & PowerShell – Part 7 (Sharing Hosts)

PowerShell Team
Well here we are at the end of a week of WPF.  We've learned how to create basic, simple user interactive interfaces.  We've seen a brief glimmer of the golden UI layer that is WPF, and have seen how we can use PowerShell to add easy interactivity to XAML.  You've seen tricks to help you work your way through .NET code, and help...

WPF & PowerShell – Part 6 (Running Functions in the Background)

May 27, 2008 May 27, 2008 05/27/08
PowerShell Team
For the next part in the series, I've introduced another update to the Show-Control function you first met in Part 4.  In this update, I've added the ability to run the control you've created in a background runspace as a switch. In order to do this, Show-Control employs a neat little trick.  It actually creates a background runspace...

WPF & PowerShell – Part 5 ( Using WPF & PowerShell Modules)

May 26, 2008 May 26, 2008 05/26/08
PowerShell Team
In the last post we met XAML, and I gave you a core function (Show-Control) that will help you make interactive WPF controls quite nicely in PowerShell. You can see that, by using Show-Control, it is possible to reduce the size and complexity of a script that creates UI.  Today, I'll show you how to build small applications by building ...

PowerShell and WPF: WTF

May 25, 2008 May 25, 2008 05/25/08
PowerShell Team
A number of people are confused by the WPF/PowerShell series and are "asking WTF?".  Aaron has a blog entry, WPF and PowerShell Series - I don't get it.  Caywen left a comment on the first in posting saying, "Ugh, I could make a peanut butter and squid sandwich, but that doesn't mean you should." (I like the visual on ...

WPF & PowerShell — Part 4 (XAML & Show-Control)

May 24, 2008 May 24, 2008 05/24/08
PowerShell Team
We're not halfway through our week of WPF, and I'm pretty sure at this point that you have an all right grounding in the basics of WPF & PowerShell, but so far, the scripts haven't really been very much like most PowerShell scripts, and the UIs have not been like most WPF UIs.  The scripts have been a little odd because they haven't ...

WPF & PowerShell — Part 3 (Handling Events)

May 23, 2008 May 23, 2008 05/23/08
PowerShell Team
So far, most of the wpf and powershell scripts you have seen have seen just show you something, but don’t do anything that interactive. However, In order to make real applications you need to be able to handle events. Luckily, PowerShell can make that pretty easy. It is possible to cast a script block to an event handler. The script ...
