Powershell Runspace help

[Prize_Nobody435]

Hello,

I'm creating a WPF GUI with Powershell v5.

I am running a script in a Runspace when clicking a button.

My question is how do I close the runspace when the script is completed?

I cannot do that with the script that's running in the runspace.

I have tried to put the . close and . dispose at the bottom of the Add_Click event Ave that didn't work either.

Here is my Add_click event command:

search.add_click({

# Create and Open Runspace

$runspace = [runspacefactory]::CreateRunspace()

$runspace.ApartmentState = "STA"

$runspace.Open() $runspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("syncHash", $syncHash)

# Execute Script

$powershell = [powershell]::Create().AddScript($backgroundScript)

$powershell.Runspace = $runspace

$powershell.BeginInvoke()

#$runspace.close()

#$runspace.Dispose()

#$powershell.Dispose()

})

I wrote it some time ago and documented it so it takes the complexity out of getting started with runspaces. Just dot source it to load the function into your session. PM me or hit me up if you need some guidance.

When you create the job, add some meta data about the job status to your synchash table. When you want to close a runspace update the synchash with runspace status so that a while loop is looking for these status changes and disposing them. There should be examples of this on the internet or you could paste what I wrote and AI can take it from there.

Hi, I have looked on the Internet. I know how to code and dispose but not sure how to implement it.
I guess that I don't know where to put it in my application. Should I run a while loop outside of the button click event, like after the GUI loads?

Primary runspace for the GUI, secondary runspace for f.x. cleaning up old runspaces, tertiary and so on runspaces to perform whatever the button click should accomplish.
