Introducing WinFormPS - PowerShell module to interact with WinForms controls

I started to work on a PowerShell module called WinFormPS. This module contains a few functions that let you interact with Windows Form controls such as DataGridView, ListBox or Button controls for example.

To build those forms I mostly use PowerShell Studio from Sapien but this can also work with any simple Form created from scratch.

The motivation to create User Interfaces has always been to ease the work of departments and teams with some of their heavy tasks, or simply to speed up some very repetitive processes. I definitely don’t have a developer background, so please bear with me and feel free to critique or push update to the module on GitHub :-)

WinForms Windows Forms (WinForms) is the name given to a graphical (GUI) class library included as a part of Microsoft .NET Framework, providing a platform to write rich client applications for desktop, laptop, and tablet. While it is seen as a replacement for the earlier and more complex C++ based Microsoft Foundation Class Library, it does not offer a comparable paradigm and only act as a platform for the user interface tier in a multi-tier solution. -Wikipedia

Functions

I hope to bring some more functions and features in the next couple of months with the help of the PowerShell Community (hopefully)

Note that some of the functions were written by guys at Sapien Inc (identified at the end)
