I have a couple of questions and doubts to regarding PowerShell and .NET Classes.

I am trying to write a class 'foo' that will call Rest web service and perform some tasks. If I deploy the class in GAC then can I call it from PowerShell?

Try:

ADD-TYPE -AssemblyName myassemblyname

or

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("myassemblyname")

to access method/properties of your assembly you can do this:

[myassemblyname]::mymethod()
[myassemblyname]::myproperty
CB.

You can load your assembly with the Add-Type cmdlet or with System.Reflection.Assembly class and then you can use the New-Object cmdlet to create objects from your assembly classes.

  • And this way I can access all the methods of that object in PowerShell and automate things. Cool. – Mitul Feb 09 '12 at 14:36

    yes, take a look at the code examples of Add-Type, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd315241.aspx – Shay Levy Feb 09 '12 at 14:50
