Max - Put It Together

First, Thanks to all who attend my last night presentation on How-to host your PowerShell script in a Windows Application.  In this session I was using PowerShell Version 2 CTP2, Programmer's Notepad 2, and Visual Studio 2008 SP1.  Also, I was running Virtual PC 2007 with two virtual machines: one a  Domain Controller and an SQL Server 2008 RC0.  I also mention that Windows Vista SP1 includes Windows PowerShell, look under "Control Panel | Add/Remove programs" and on the left-hand side menu click on "Turn Windows features on or off".  Keep in mind, this is PowerShell RTM Version 1. 

Please use Virtual PC 2007 and built a virtual machine if you want to experiment with PowerShell Version 2 CTP2.

Back to our PS Hosting materials and as I promised... Here's my presentation material, all working sample for you to try out.  I'm including:

1. two PS functions: Out-Datagrid.txt and Start-Demo.ps1 (plus documentation)

2. A Sample Code file and documentation.

3. Powerpoint presentation.

4. A working (yes is working) Visual Studio 2008 solution - PSHosting Template.

Its fast as a storm... it came and it took everyone by surprise. Meeting and sharing information with top-notch professionals. Blain Barton and myself we were glad to meet Santos Martinez, Elias Mereb, and many other who where sharing their knowledge.  This event will come back next year.

Thanks to all who attend the morning IT track with speaker Blain Barton and myself.  To see over 500 IT professional in this session was very exciting.  Well, as I mention at the end of our session, here I'm posting my demo scripts.  Click on the link to download the *.zip file.  This contains 6 items:
