Cmdlets contain pure .NET code, so thanks to cmdlets, you do not need to directly touch .NET code. You can, however. Here are a number of sample calls that illustrate how .NET methods can be accessed:
#requires -Version 2 [System.Convert]::ToString(687687687, 2) [Math]::Round(4.6) [Guid]::NewGuid() [System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension('c:\test.txt', 'bak') [System.Net.DNS]::GetHostByName('dell1') [System.Net.DNS]::GetHostByAddress('192.168.1.124') [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable() # dangerous, save your work first [Environment]::FailFast('Oops') Add-Type -AssemblyName PresentationFramework $dialog = New-Object Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog $dialog.ShowDialog() $dialog.FileName
