Vista - Creating a steam of custom objects in a loop

I'm looking at creating a stream of custom objects, sorting them, then
processing further.

Select-Object gives a flavour of what I would like to do. However in this
case I want to create an object whose properties are not a subset of
predefined classes. I'll create the properties in code (in a loop) and emit
a collection of the objects.

Can anyone point me to an example for doing that?

Hi Mike,

Not sure if it's what you are looking for:

$array=@()
for($idx=0;$idx -lt 10;++$idx)
{
$o=1 | select Name, Lastname
$o.Name="Foo $idx";
$o.Lastname="Bar $idx";
$array+=$o;
}
$array| sort lastname -desc

Here's some code I use in a script to create an object from a hashtable of
propname (key) / value (value) pairs:

if ($props.Count -gt 0) {
$statusObj = new-object system.management.automation.psobject
$statusObj.psobject.typenames[0] =
"Custom.Tfs.VersionControl.Status"
foreach ($key in $props.keys) {
add-member -input $statusObj -MemberType NoteProperty $key
$props["$key"]
}
Write-Output $statusObj
$props.Clear()
}

Thanks to Max and Keith both.

I adopted a PSObject style approach and used Add-Member.
