How to call PowerShell cmdlets from C # in Visual Studio

I'm creating PowerShell cmdlets from Visual Studio and I can't seem to figure out how to call the cmdlets from my C # file, or if that's possible? I have no problem running my cmdlets one by one, but I want to configure the cmdlet to run multiple cmdlets in the sequel.

Yes, you can call cmdlets from your C # code.

You will need these two namespaces:

using System.Management.Automation;
using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces;

Open the gap:

Runspace runSpace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
runSpace.Open();

Create a pipeline:

Pipeline pipeline = runSpace.CreatePipeline();

Create a command:



Command cmd= new Command("APowerShellCommand");

You can add parameters:

cmd.Parameters.Add("Property", "value");

Add it to your pipeline:

pipeline.Commands.Add(cmd);

Run command (s):

Collection output = pipeline.Invoke();
foreach (PSObject psObject in output)
{
   ....do stuff with psObject (output to console, etc)
}

Does this answer your question?
