A few years back I developed a WPF based PowerShell app that is used to process paper mailouts a couple of times a year. The PC that I developed it on died a month or so back. Since I created that App I have been working mainly on Linux, so my recollection as to how I put the app together is a bit hazy (yeah I know … keep notes!) So I created a new setup (based on Windows 11 rather than 10 for ease of new motherboard support) Firstly Visual Studio with tools won’t open the project. It says the project is incompatible On inspecting the various .ps1 files in the project there is a RTMinvocing.d ..read more

Tool: Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, PSScriptPad, PowerShell Module Version: I’m in need of upgrading my license for PowerShell Pro Tools. So today I went to the site to see how much it was to get the expenditure approved. I saw that the tool is being deprecated and will move to be Open Source. I would just like to get clarification, if we have a valid license at the time of the change, will we need to get a new license or will it never expire? I also want to say thanks to Adam for this product which saved me a lot of trouble in the past. I am sorry to see that it has dwindled in use. 1 ..read more

Tool: Visual Studio Code I had to key my Powershell Pro Tools license again in to VS Code. It seemed to work, but I get a message about “There is no data provider registered that can provide view data.” I assume this is there because the module(s) had not loaded. After the Import-Module process completes, the “Jobs”, “Modules”, “Providers”, etc. boxes go in to a continuous scan and do not provide any additional information. Any idea on how to correct this? 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic ..read more

Tool: Visual Studio 2022 Version: Latest version Trial Hi, i’m currently evaluating Powershell pro tool and I have questions. ( by the way I followed the documentation and didn’t find what I want.)

Hi, I’ve been looking for an explanation of how to run a function from PoshPT VSCode WinForms without it freezing up the UI. I saw runspaces mentioned but I’ve not had any luck getting this to work. I also saw a link Adam added to one response but the link is not dead. Would it be possible to have a template or quick YouTube video made of how to do this with PoshPT? I also checked YouTube but the explanations are not PoshPT specific and do not work with PoshPT. Or most likely I just don’t know what I don’t know and I’m doing something wrong. So to recap, what I’m looking to do is: Create a Po ..read more
