#VISUAL STUDIO COMMUNITY EDITION POWERSHELL FREE#
Microsoft has done a fantastic job of helping coders out over the recent years and is getting more and more open as the time goes with free tools and now even services available to anyone with a Microsoft AccountĪnyway, enough rambling. We can save and test our work separately from the main code, then upload to the server for integration. So I can work on feature XYZ, whist another team member works on feature ABC. (one of the issues being a consultant I guess)Īnother nice feature is the ease of having development forks. There should be an easy way to integrate those changes to the paid ones. One of the biggest pushes for me however was the fact I needed to separate versions of scripts that customers have paid for me to write based off my freeware scripts from stuff I can distribute freely and if I make an improvement or bug fix to the free one. But workable if your just doing simple things.
It was literally me copying and pasting the folders that contained the content and amending “.old” or “Before awesome mega feature” A bit of a pain if I was making small UI changes as well as I’d have the GUI saved in one app and the Powershell in another.
#VISUAL STUDIO COMMUNITY EDITION POWERSHELL CODE#
Not to mention version control suffers from “Latest – newest- no this one.ps1” issues.įirst off, if your just looking at how I do GUI’s for my PowerShell tools, go check Stephen Owen’s blog over here as everything I know I learnt from there and is one of the main reasons I switched to using Visual Studio.Īs I was writing GUI’s I’d write the WPF code in Visual Studio, then switch over to the ISE. It can become a small nightmare to manage. Up until now, I’ve been doing all my PowerShell work in the Powershell ISE, which is fantastic for smaller scripts but once we start adding XAML gui code and heaps of functions. Initially dodgy hacks in Powershell to “Get the job done” but now moving into more complicated GUI’s and the like. These days now I focus on just Skype for Business, I try to optimise my process as much as I can. Read-on, there is no Skype for Business content in this article so if you’re looking for that, check out my scripts page.Īnyway I’m a coder from way back, writing things in basic on the C64 and QBASIC in dos when I was a kid, Moving up to VB5 and 6 when I was a teenager, then real life kicked in and I started in the support trenches getting users to turn things off and on again.
If you’re interested in improving your Powershell scripting process or maybe implementing GUI Wrappers around existing cmdlets. So that’s coming soon.Īnyway, I was asked on twitter to document the process of me moving over to Visual Studio and Git on Visual studio Team Services for all my local PowerShell scripting work. I’ve been pulled off to a customer site and I’ve had to rebuild my lab. Wait another part 1? But he hasn’t finished the Audiocodes CloudBond Review…
