passing powershell variables to C# code within PS script

Question

I read a lot about passing vars from C# to powershell script but i am interesten in the other way around.

here I have this code to create a Type in my powershell scr

Answer 1

You could either pass the variables into the type via a method in your C# class that would accept the variables as parameters e.g.:

$form = new-object Form1
$form.SetVariables($vm1, $vm2, $vm3, $vm4)

I recommend that approach.

Another option (heavier weight and not tested) is to try accessing the current runspace from the C# code e.g.:

var defRunspace = System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.Runspace.DefaultRunspace;
var pipeline = defRunspace.CreateNestedPipeline();
pipeline.Commands.AddScript("$vm1,$vm2,$vm3,$vm4");
var results = pipeline.Invoke();
var vm1 = results[0];
var vm2 = results[1];
...

I haven't tried this from C# code (only from within PowerShell) so I'm not 100% sure it will work.
