If you are the sort of bloke that likes to turn the dial to 11, you should check out Abhishek’s recent blog entry on Custom TypeConverters:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/abhishek225.spaces.live.com\/Blog\/cns!13469C7B7CE6E911!191.entry<\/a><\/p>\n Much of the power of Windows PowerShell comes from the type coercion capabilities of our ObjectFlow engine. This is what allows PowerShell to eliminate tons of low-class, impedance-mismatch programming minutia and allows you to focus on the problem you are trying to solve. There are a number of things we do here including type creation, using a type’s PARSE method, leveraging the .NET type conversion system, etc but we also provide a mechanism for you to participate. Abhishek shows you how. <\/p>\n This is not for your mainstream Admin but if you like tinkering with the system and appreciate how a little bit of code can provide incredible functional leverage – then you should give this a try – it’s a rush. If you produce something good, you should share it with the community so that the mainstream can benefit and you can bask in the glory being a true PowerHead. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Jeffrey Snover [MSFT] <\/p>\n
