3 More Ways To Inject Dynamic WPF GUIs into your PowerShell Pipeline

Inject Dynamic WPF GUIs into your PowerShell Pipeline shows Edit-Object. You supply an object and it creates a WPF GUI so you can edit it. The example compiles C# code on the fly.

Below are three native PowerShell objects being edited in the pipeline. A PowerShell Custom Object, Get-Process Object and Get-ChildItem object.

There are plenty of others to experiment with too.
