Join Jason C. Helmick for an in-depth discussion in this video Working with methods, part of PowerShell 5 Essential Training.
- So far in this chapter…we've been working with properties.…We've been creating our own properties…by doing custom columns and calculated properties.…We've been selecting and sorting and filtering.…Now it's time to do a little bit with methods.…Now the methods are listed the same way.…Anytime you wanna know anything there is to know…about an object you pipe it to get-member.…GM is the alias and anything that says method…is something this object can do.…I want you to notice something about this get-service.…The objects here and the object type…is a ServiceController.…
I want you to notice that it…has methods start and stop.…I wanna show you a way to do this.…As an example I want you to pretend for a second.…You already know that get-service name bits,…you already know that it's stopped right now.…I could start it by doing start-service.…Pretend for a second though that this commandlet…doesn't exist and this will happen to you in real life.…You're gonna be able to grab hold of an object…and you're not gonna have a commandlet…
