Can Powershell respond to events from a COM object? 'Powershell in
Action' covers COM interaction but makes no mention of events.



Many thanks,

A previous reply to a question regarding using PowerShell with serial
I/O ports supplied this reply, "async event support is not yet
supported natively". Hence I would be very surprised if PowerShell
1.0 can respond to COM events. A work around is Oisins excellent
event library. See http://www.codeplex.com/PSEventing

A real pity that. Are there already plans for it in v2, isn't there
somewhere on MS where MVPs can raise wish-list items and put them out
to be seconded by users?

Agreed. But to ship is to choose - I prefer shipping PowerShell early
and then doing remoting in V2.

Allegedly.

Yes.
