Should be a lot of fun, and a great excuse to get deeper into the technology over the weekend. One thing that I think is reallyenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Build: 40407.4157)http://msmvps.com/blogs/robfarley/archive/2007/01/05/powershell-and-sql.aspx#498447Tue, 16 Jan 2007 20:40:04 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:498447Allen White<p>I started seriously trying to learn the new Windows PowerShell scripting language this week.

Powershell really takes shell-scripting to the next level through rich object support as you mentioned. </p> <p>The other nice side to this story is that you can build your own cmdlets in .NET that extend the shell itself. For example you can expose your own LOB App data stores so that they can be administered and accessed via the shell as virtual folders in the same way that you can access the file system, registry.</p> <p>Also you can easily access your own custom .NET classes and class them from within you shell scripts just as you have done here for example</p> <p>[System.Reflection.Assembly]:LoadWithPartialName(&quot;MyAssembly&quot;)</p> <p>The possiblities are endless!</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=470600" width="1" height="1">
