I've been a SharePoint admin for a while, and now have been tasked with a bit more of a developer role - which I'm still very much learning. Most things I've been able to figure out on my own or through Google, but this one has me stumped. For one particular task I need to use PowerShell to script adding items to a list. Normally - not ...
I have a very good understanding of C# (I'm probably an intermeddiate programmer) and a very basic understanding of powershell. I'm using Windows PowerShell CTP 3, which has been really fun. But I want to go beyond writing scripts/functions. Is there any cool stuff to do with C#? ...

The Sys Admin guy is writing some common housekeeping Power Shell scripts. Predominantly for AD management (updating exchange details, moving people around security groups etc.) I'd like to use these scripts from C# (I intend to write it as a library, consumed by a web site).

I have made a PowerShell script, which is running perfectly fine and generating a text file when I run it standalone. I wanted to automate that whenever my ASP.NET page loads I invoke a process from C# that calls my PowerShell script and executes that leading to a text file being generated. The problem is the script is being called, but...
Hi, Is their anyway to test the correctness of a powershell script without executing it. I know you could do something similar in unix, but can't find the equiv for powershell.

Suppose you're a system admin who uses powershell to managa a lot of things on his/her system(s). You've probably written a lot of functions which do things you regularly need to check. However, if you have to move around a lot, use different machines a lot and so on, you'd have to re-enter all your functions again and again to be able ...
