PrimalScript Packaged PrimalForm PowerShell
I hope you’ve been playing with the free PrimalForms tool and started creating some useful PowerShell tools. Here’s a technique you might want to explore if you are using PrimalScript. If you’ve used the PrimalScript for awhile you likely are aware of the script packaging feature. You can use it to package your PowerShell scripts into an EXE file.

PrimalScript: Did you know about Snippets?
I’d like to think that Primalscript’s Snippets feature is one of its more well known features, but I think I take it for granted. Primalscript ships with a large number of language specific snippets that you can freely incorporate into your work. Depending on your configuration, you may or may not see the Snippets browser panel on the left side of the IDE. If you can’t find it, go to View – Browser Panels and select Snippets Browser.

I mentioned this to […]
