I've written a Powershell script that reads a CSV file and returns a predetermined collection from the data. Below is a sample output of said script.
Count Name
------ ------
12 Rubies
3 Pearls
20 Emeralds
I am able to obtain the results in C# by storing it in a PSObject like so:
var shell = PowerShell.Create();
shell.Commands.AddScript("C:\\Scripts\\Powershell\\Get-MyData.ps1");
Collection<PSObject> results = shell.Invoke();
Now when I'm expecting a single object, I am able to obtain each value and assign them to variables like this:
foreach (PSObject psObject in results)
{
localVariable = Convert.ToString(psObject.Properties["Name"].Value);
}
However, I am having trouble converting this solution to a dynamic one. That is to say, the number of rows is expected to vary. So I've implemented this before when the source is a SQL database using a solution similar to the one posted here so I've assumed that datatables should be the way to go but I cannot get it to work in this scenario. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
Note: The Powershell script component here is compulsory as it includes other mechanisms to formulate the output so while I could just read from the CSV file using C#, this is simply not an option.
What I understood from your question is that you want to have DataTable for further data process and you want to use it in your respective collection.
You can proceed like this:
DataTable dt=new DataTable();
dt.Colums.Add("Count");
dt.Colums.Add("Name");
foreach (PSObject psObject in results)
{
foreach(PSPropertyInfo prop in psObject.Properties)
{
var count=prop.Name;
var name=prop.Value;
//In other words generate output as you desire.
dt.Rows.Add(count,name);
}
}
Hope it's helpful for you.
since you are already using powershell to read the csv file, why not continue?
You could invoke a powershell command/script to iterate the results of your *.ps1 file before you start to manage it in C#.
It's quite easy to invoke a script in c#, and you don't have to create the script as a file. You can just send the script text directly and invoke it.
maybe you can even combine the 2 similar to:
var shell = PowerShell.Create();
shell.Commands.AddScript("C:\\Scripts\\Powershell\\Get-MyData.ps1 | foreach {do-something $_}");
Collection<PSObject> results = shell.Invoke();
Notice that i added a pipe after your script results are returned. Remember that the 'AddScript' is very much like sending a bunch of text to powershell.exe. I've pushed entire script files from embedded resources to this method before.
Use Linq:
IEnumerable<dynamic> dynamicResults = from item in results
select new { Name = item.Name, Count = item.Count };
Then set the myDataGrid.ItemsSource = dynamicResults;
