Coming soon: I’ll be publishing a series of blog articles on building a simple cmdlet for Windows PowerShell. The bade news is that you’ll need to use Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Basic .NET to follow along – the good news is that it isn’t going to be nearly as hard as that sounds!<\/P>
If you’re interested, you’ve got a few days to get ready: Start by downloading a FREE copy of Visual Studio 2005 Express from http:\/\/msdn.microsoft.com\/vstudio\/express\/vb\/download\/<\/A>. Or… since cmdlets don’t have a graphical user interface… you could actually use SAPIEN PrimalScript 4.1 Enterprise! Yup, it provides full VB.NET support. So if you have that, then you’re all set on the development environment.<\/P> You’ll also need v3.0 of the .NET Framework SDK. Strangely, you won’t need v3.0 of the Framework itself – just the SDK. You’ll find it at http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/downloads\/details.aspx?FamilyId=C2B1E300-F358-4523-B479-F53D234CDCCF&displaylang=en<\/A>; and you DO NOT need Windows Vista, even though the title of the download might make it seem like you do.<\/P> Get all those bits installed, and be prepared to follow along as I show you how to build some simple cmdlets, and then step up into increasingly complex cmdlets. Sure, this might not be for the faint of heart… but think about it: Without spending any money<\/EM> (if you use the free Express edition of Visual Studio, that is), you can actually extend the Windows PowerShell<\/EM> “language” to do whatever you might need! This is perhaps the first time in history that this capability has been within reach of Windows administrators – so take advantage!<\/P> Technorati Tags: Coming soon: I’ll be publishing a series of blog articles on building a simple cmdlet for Windows PowerShell.
