Vista - CTP Out-GridView

How does the Out-GridView cmdlet know to display only a subset of fields (and
not all) with

ps | grid

Does it lookup up the parameter sets?

When inspecting the BaseObject or ImmediateBaseObject they have all the
available fields.

CTP's Out-GridView does't support -Property yet. But there is a workaround -

Thanks.

Let me re-state.

I want to create a cmlet/snapin.

After creating a runspace etc and doing an invoke.

In Collection<PSObject> when looking at the base and immediateBase I see all
the properties returned.

How does the Out-GridView know to take the default ones and display just them?

This is ETS at its best:

PSH> ps|get-member

TypeName: System.Diagnostics.Process
....

OK, so you're dealing with a System.Diagnostics.Process object.
PowerShell looks up "System.Diagnostics.Process" in this file to
determine what members to display by default:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\types.ps1xml

You can override this by editing the types.ps1xml (generally not a good
idea), or create your own .ps1xml file and either load it only when
needed or permanently via the profile (using update-typedata -prependpath).
