问题
I have two functions one creates a custom object which once done is piped to the next function. The problem is that the second function is not receiving my object correctly. Instead of using the pipeline I have tried setting a variable and then piping that variable to the function. Below are the two functions with the output of get member on the returned object. All the string param are being processed correctly. But the objects simply wont work. In the begin block of the New-BaseGuest I am not able to assign the results to the variables.
Basically I want to end up with:
Get-ServerFromXML -XMLFile File -GuestName Name | New-BaseGuest
The New-BaseGuest function is incomplete as I cannot get the parameters working.

回答1:
This is expected behavior. The begin {} block runs before any pipeline objects are encountered, so you have no access to any parameters that come in through the pipeline in your begin block.
The process {} block is run once for each item, so the code you have in the begin block really needs to be put there (because it's specific to a single VM).
