Embrace and Extend the PowerShell ISE

Posted on

I did a presentation today for the PowerShell Virtual Chapter of SQLPass. The recording will be posted later and I'll update this when I have the link. But in the meantime, as promised, I wanted to make available my slide deck and demos. You'll need to download the individual ISE Addons from the respective sites. Links are in the slides. You can use the script demos as guides for your own ISE extensions.

  1. In your pdf, where you show how to change colors for the ISE, you stated closing and restarting the ISE wiould return the settings to the defaults. In Powershell 3 the setting are immediate and ‘permanent’. The setting needed to return to defaults are:
    Option Value
    FontSize 9
    Zoom 100
    FontName Lucida Console
    ErrorForegroundColor #FFFF0000
    ErrorBackgroundColor #00FFFFFF
    WarningForegroundColor #FFFF8C00
    WarningBackgroundColor #00FFFFFF
    VerboseForegroundColor #FF0000FF
    VerboseBackgroundColor #00FFFFFF
    DebugForegroundColor #FF0000FF
    DebugBackgroundColor #00FFFFFF
    OutputPaneBackgroundColor #FFF0F8FF
    OutputPaneTextBackgroundColor #FFF0F8FF
    OutputPaneForegroundColor #FF000000
    CommandPaneBackgroundColor #FFFFFFFF
    ScriptPaneBackgroundColor #FFFFFFFF
    ScriptPaneForegroundColor #FF000000
    ShowWarningForDuplicateFiles TRUE
    ShowWarningBeforeSavingOnRun TRUE
    UseLocalHelp TRUE
    CommandPaneUp FALSE
    AutoSaveMinuteInterval 2
    MruCount 10
    ShowIntellisenseInCommandPane TRUE
    ShowIntellisenseInScriptPane TRUE
    UseEnterToSelectInCommandPaneIntellisense FALSE
    UseEnterToSelectInScriptPaneIntellisense TRUE
    IntellisenseTimeoutInSeconds 3

    1. The ISE in PowerShell v3 is indeed very different. A lot of what I discussed probably won’t apply.
