Hi,
I wanted to combine powershell and my .net application. In fact this works quite easily. The following link was quite helpful to make this work: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/kebab/2014/04/28/executing-powershell-scripts-from-c/
We see here that an assembly has to be added (System.Management.Automation), but that's more or less it... I encapsulated the invocation of the powershell code into the following class
... so we can use this class as a base class (if you want to call the execution of the code directly: change method Execute to be public). The following snippet is an example how to use the base class:
... with the snippet above you can check the OS for pending windows updates.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | using System.Management.Automation; using System.Collections.ObjectModel; class PSExecutor { protected Collection<PSObject> Execute(string command, params Tuple<string, object>[] parameters) { using (PowerShell PowerShellInstance = PowerShell.Create()) { // add a script that creates a new instance of an object from the caller's namespace PowerShellInstance.AddScript(command); parameters.ToList().ForEach(x => PowerShellInstance.AddParameter(x.Item1, x.Item2)); return PowerShellInstance.Invoke(); } } } |
... so we can use this class as a base class (if you want to call the execution of the code directly: change method Execute to be public). The following snippet is an example how to use the base class:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | // https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Get-WindowsUpdatesps1-7c82c1f4 class GetWindowsUpdatePSExecutor : PSExecutor { public Collection<PSObject> Execute() { return base.Execute( @" $UpdateSession = New-Object -ComObject 'Microsoft.Update.Session' $UpdateSearcher = $UpdateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher() $SearchResult = $UpdateSearcher.Search(""IsInstalled=0"") # ""IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software' and IsHidden=0"" $SearchResult.Updates |Select-Object -Property Title, Description, SupportUrl, UninstallationNotes, RebootRequired "); } } |
... with the snippet above you can check the OS for pending windows updates.
