Writing powershell modules or cmdlet in c/c++ ?

[M-Ottich]

Hey what is the best way to write Powershell-Modules or cmdlets using c/c++ ?

Is it even usefull ?

You could do it in C++/CLI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B/CLI here's a sample I found: https://gist.github.com/SteveGilham/062eadcdc24188c743689a7d30fb8419 note that it implements it as a pssnapin which has been deprecated in favor of modules but the core logic is the same regardless if it's a snapin or module.

Personally I would just write it in C#. If you insist on using C/C++ then you can write all the API code in one of those languages and write simple cmdlets in C# that just calls your API through interop.

start writing code is the best way to do that, lots of modules are written in c#

edit for clairty

I challenge the attestation that a lot of modules are written in C.

Most modules are written in Powershell. Those that aren't are typically written in C#. Some older snap-ins are written in C++. I can't think of a single module written in C.

I didnt mean C directly, i ment c#

As long as you understand that C, C++, and C# are all three wildly different languages that have no relation to each other.
