使用PowerShell类调用“[namespace.class] :: method”样式命令

Question

I created a powershell object via .net to invoke commands. When I invoke normal commands like 'Get-Process' I had no problems:

ps.AddCommand("Get-Process").AddParameter(...).Invoke()

but I'm not able to invoke a .net method with the syntax "[namespace.class]::method", just to make an example to invoke [System.IO.File]::Exists("c:\\boo.txt").

I tried with

ps.AddCommand("[System.IO.File]::Exists(\"c:\\boo.txt\")").Invoke()

ps.AddCommand("[System.IO.File]::Exists").AddArgument("c:\\boo.txt").Invoke()

and some others. It always throws an exception which says that the command specified is not recognized.

There is a way to invoke that type of command? Thanks

You need to add script to the pipeline since calling out to .NET requires script ie .NET methods are not considered PowerShell commands eg:

static void Main()
{
     PowerShell ps = PowerShell.Create();
     ps.AddScript(@"[IO.File]::Exists('C:\Users\Keith\foo.txt')");
     foreach (PSObject result in ps.Invoke())
     {
         Console.WriteLine(result);
     }
}
