I am writing an C# application which will need to execute Powershell scripts with command line arguments and retrieve the output (aka what I would expect to see in the output window of PowerShell ISE - including exception information)
I have found numerous code examples of how to accomplish this task using PowerShell V1 objects. These examples create runspaces, pipelines, etc. (ex Execute PowerShell Script from C# with Commandline Arguments)
I have seen a few scant references to a different way to do this using PowerShell V2. (the top answer here: Capturing Powershell output in C# after Pipeline.Invoke throws) Using V2 seems much simpler. No messing around with runspaces, piplines or any of that. Something like this:
PowerShell powerShell = PowerShell.Create();
powerShell.AddScript(script);
var results = powerShell.Invoke();
Are there any good working examples out there of using PowerShell V2 objects to execute scripts from within C# code? Is there any known good documentation of the PowerShell V2 (or even V3) objects and best practices on how to use them? Offical docs from Microsoft like there ought to be? A good book or site which breaks down the System.Management.Automation assembly piece by piece?
In C programming language, %d and %i are format specifiers as where %d specifies the type of variable as decimal and %i specifies the type as integer. In usage terms, there is no difference in printf() function output while printing a number using %d or %i but using scanf the difference occurs.
Show activity on this post. %d is used to print decimal(integer) number ,while %c is used to print character . If you try to print a character with %d format the computer will print the ASCII code of the character.
C is worth learning in 2022 because it is easy to grasp. It gives you basic knowledge about the inner workings of computer systems and the core concepts that drive programming.
Answering my own question here. It looks like the right approach would be for my application to function as a PowerShell Host
