Discover Enums with Get-TypeMember

Earlier this Spring, I released a new function called Get-TypeMember. The function is in the PSScriptTools module. I wrote about that release here. This command is an alternative to Get-Member that includes more details. The other day I pushed a new version that makes it easier to identify properties that are enumerations.

The function has a custom format file that highlights the enum properties. This feature will not work in the PowerShell ISE. Once you identify the property name and ResultType, you can drill down to that property.

The fields reveal the enum values. You can have some fun with this.

Get-TypeMember serviceprocess.servicecontroller -MemberType Property | Where IsEnum | Foreach { Get-TypeMember $_.PropertyType -membertype field}

I already have a few improvements in mind, but I'd love to hear what you think.
