One feature of PowerShell Studio that you want to pay attention to is the PowerShell Cache Editor. When PowerShell Studio is opened for the first time, it creates a cache of all available cmdlets and modules that are on your local machine.

Introducing the SAPIEN Information Center
Over the years, the articles in this blog have grown extensively. There’s a lot of valuable information in here, but it’s become hard to find because it’s mixed in with various tour announcements, special offers, conference recaps, and the like.

Calling a method without parentheses
Late breaking news from PowerShell Conference Europe 2016!! During PowerShell MVP Chrissy LeMaire’s (@cl) knockout session at PowerShell Conference Europe 2016, “My Journey to 200,000 Rows a Second” (don’t miss the recording; I’ll tweet as soon as it’s available), PowerShell Principal Developer Bruce Payette (@BrucePayette) said that you can call the Where method without parentheses.

Setting Conditional Breakpoints
Applies to PowerShell Studio 2016, PrimalScript 2016, and later. I write lots of scripts — for production, for research, for testing, and for demonstrations. And, inevitably, I hit a bug.

Earlier in October, I posted a blog about remote connection failures that occur when using WMI Explorer on a remote computer running Windows 8.

Engine Type Prerequisites

For example, if you build an executable in PowerShell Studio and select the SAPIEN PowerShell V2 Host (Command Line) Win32 engine then the .NET […]

The reason the form closes is that the Button control’s DialogResult property is set to a value other than None. This property tells the […]
