c# - Calling Visual Studio method using powershell

Question

I am trying to write a powershell script to call a method that's located in my Visual Studio (2010) solution. What is the syntax for calling, for example, a method like

public void CreateData(string s, int i)

?

Answer 1

You can compile your class library project into a dll then load the dll using reflection in powershell. Here is an example:

c# code:

public class MyClass {
    public void CreateData(string s, int i) {
        // your logic here
    }
}

powershell code:

$lib = [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:pathoMyClass.dll")
$obj = new-object MyClass
$result = $obj.CreateData("s_value",5)

This code assumes that your class is called "MyClass". You may have to run set-executionpolicy RemoteSigned in powershell first.
