Exchange with Powershell - weird error

I enter my code and it throws an error. The code went fine and I was able to run it before I tried to add the Dropbox feature. I can't seem to figure out what is wrong with this ...

This might be a little bit wrong, but the error suggests that he doesn't know how to use the + operator with an object $return[0]

. For example, strings and integers can work with the + operator.

You missed copying the whole error. Consider the following code. I will try to add a space to the folder name object incorrectly.

$folder = Get-Item "C:\temp"
$folder + " "

Method invocation failed because [System.IO.DirectoryInfo] doesn't contain a method named 'op_Addition'.
At line:2 char:1
+ $folder + " "
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (op_Addition:String) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound

      

op_Addition

is the text that was truncated in your post.

Actual problem



Even if you have a return statement, the function returns all the output back to the output stream. You need to pass this extra output to a null value. Dropping up [void]

or pipelines up Out-Null

are two general approaches.

These lines are the actual problem

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms") 
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Drawing")

      

Need to connect null / exclude pin. (I can see from the edit you already figured it out.)

[void]([System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms"))
[void]([System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Drawing"))

If I run this code, it works fine. Does anyone have a way to enter a dropdown in a form?

I had the same error message, but it was due to an error in the code:

$NUFirstname =  $mTextBox1
$NULastname  =  $mTextBox2

      

it should be:

$NUFirstname =  $mTextBox1.text
$NULastname  =  $mTextBox2.text

      

Cheers, Radegonda
