Writing Cmdlets for the PowerShell Pipeline
In a continuation of what is, sadly, becoming a series on how the PowerShell Pipeline works … Karl Prosser brought to my attention that certain powershell commands which have an -InputObject parameter don’t actually work when you pass something into it … so I thought I should create a cmdlet to show you how to [...]
XamlReader and Resource Library fonts in WPF
