Windows PowerShell Host03 Sample
This sample application shows building a fairly complete interactive console-based host which allows users to run cmdlets and see the output.
This sample reads commands from the command line, executes them, and displays the results to the console. The sample user interface classes are built on top of System.Console.
Sample Objectives
This sample demonstrates the following:
- Creating your own host interface, host user interface, and host raw user interface classes.
- Building a console application that uses these host classes to build an interactive PowerShell shell.
