I want to thank John Allman and the Wisconsin SQL Server User Group for allowing me the time to share a bit about PowerShell. I believe John will be posting the recording for [...]

Back in August, I was offered a chance to make a fool of myself on yet another podcast tremendously honored by the opportunity to talk with Keith Elder and Chris “Woody” Woodruff on their podcast – Deep Fried Bytes – about PowerShell.
Keith and Chris are great guys, very sharp, and asked some good questions. If [...]

Posted in General, PowerShell, PowerShell Version 2 | 1 comment
I’ve used the integrated debugging features with PowerShell V2 since I’ve had it available, but I never really dug below the surface of setting breakpoints at certain lines.
Set-PSBreakpoint offers some additional options of which I was not aware.
Setting a breakpoint in relation to a variable (read, assigned, or both)
Setting a breakpoint when a function [...]
I’ll be on the PowerScripting Podcast!
I’ll be on the PowerScripting podcast with Jonathan Walz and Hal Rottenberg for this week’s live stream.
We’ll be talking about PowerShellCommunity.Org, the Sync Framework, and more…
I love that podcast and am really looking forward to it!
Also, they recently posted an interview with Clint Huffman, who is the author of PAL. Good stuff!

I’ve been exploring the Sync Framework for use in a couple of projects I have going and PowerShell is my preferred exploratory environment.
It was a bit of fun, since I got to work with eventing for the first time in V2.
First, I downloaded the Sync Framework Software Development Kit. That provided me with the Sync [...]

I’m updating Crystal Reports and trying to determine which reports might have been affected by some schema changes or functional changes in how the data was being stored.
The problem I’ve had is that when there are a large number of reports, it is very time consuming to open each one, look at it, and see [...]

Posted in Azure, Development, PowerShell | No comments
The July CTP release of the Windows Azure SDK contains a new sample project called PowerShellRole which demonstrates that PowerShell is available in the cloud!
Previous versions of the CTP have come with a sample Provider which you could use to access Azure storage (blobs, queues, and tables), but this actually provides demonstration of creating runspaces [...]
