How to create a class by reading from another class (.cs) file with Powershell?
- by Razcer
I have this POGO ( simple putter getter) class that I am trying to read in PowerShell
using System;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
namespace MyApp.VM
{
[Serializable]
public class MyClassVM
{
public Int64 CtrId { get; set; }
public string CtrName { get; set; }
public string CtrPhone { get; set; }
public string CtrZip { get; set; }
public DateTime AddDate { get; set; }
}
}
Here is the ps1 code that is trying to read the class from a file.
function Build-Pogo
{
$FileDir = "D:\YourDirectoryOfPogo"
$ClassName = "MyClassVM"
$FileName = $FileDir + "\" + $ClassName + ".cs"
# Build the class from the file
$AllLines = [string]::join([environment]::newline, (Get-Content $FileName))
Add-Type -TypeDefinition $AllLines
# spin thru each property for class
$ClassHandle = New-Object -typeName $ClassName
$ClassHandle | ForEach-Object {Write-Host $_.name -foregroundcolor cyan}
}
*Note the last line is placeholder for more complex logic to come later.
This breaks at the Add-Type with this error message for each get/set in the file.
'MyApp.VM.MyClassVM.CtrId.get' must declare a body because it is not marked abstract or extern
Any info on what I'm doing wrong will be greatly appreciated.
