That site is now in my Google Reader. Awesome stuff.

TBH, never worked with WPF before. When I said "to see if I still know how C# works", I meant that it's been summer vacation. Back to college now :P

Sadly not, what you see are 2 textarea's.

Enter JSON on the left, hit transform and the Powershell code shows up on the right.

I made this up real quick with VS2008.

Hosting Powershell inside the winform? To be honest, I would have never even considered such a thing to be possible.

Nice. Are you hosting PowerShell in the Winform app?

Thanks for the quick reply.

By the way, I downloaded the source files and made a small app to test if I still know how C# works :P

Insert JSON left, get Powershell right. Pretty fun.

Great question. I wrote the two many months apart.

My need for ConvertFrom did not require me to pipe data into it.

When I built ConvertTo it was more natural to pipe the data so I used Filter.

I'm pretty new to Powershell, but I'm gonna ask anyway: the ConvertFrom file declares itself a function, while the ConvertTo file declares itself a filter. Why are they not both filters or functions?

Thanks for the suggestions. I checked in the changes.

IIRC my rationale for generating the new objects only was because to turn it into running objects I would only need to pipe it to ' | Invoke-Expression'.

In my private testing I was saving the text output of the ConvertFrom-JSON to a file or passing it to other scripts.

The changes are checked in and there is a [switch]$raw argument.

By default the objects are invoked. Pass in -raw and you get the the text.

Good question. That was two years ago. I was just getting my feet under me with PoSh.

I will have a look.

Why does the script only produce the text commands needed to make the new objects? Why not go aehad with that last step? Just seemed an odd choice to me, and trivial to change.
