Announcing the release of PowerBoots 0.1

This release of PowerBoots is the most exciting release software I’ve cranked out in awhile. It finally has almost all of the features that I have thought of so far (we’re still missing proper support for attached properties).

  • You can create pretty much any WPF element, including ones I haven’t thought of adding yet (use Add-BootsFunction to add a new assembly or a single type).
  • You can create graphical user interfaces from PowerShell 1.0 all the way to the latest PowerShell 2.0 CTP.
  • You can create your WPF GUIs -Async in their own threads, or inline in PoshConsole, or as synchronous dialogs that return values when they close.
  • You can capture screenshots of your UIs (eg: generate .jpg charts from Visifire). You can even do so without displaying them!
  • You can take advantage of XAML Data Templates to generate graphical representations of any objects in the PowerShell pipeline.
  • You can add to, or modify your running GUIs from the command line.

You can read the “and much much more” between the lines right?
