I've published v0.10.0. Still working on the examples but should be ready for experiments.

Please note that now types require the full namespace.

Cooking a major update to WinUIShell.

I've just finished fixing all the build errors caused by my C# source generator. Thanks to that, all WinUI3 controls will be supported in the next release. Yes, all of themπŸŽ‰

This example is one of my favorites, ContentDialog.

Extracting PowerShell Function Names with the AST As time goes by, we all find better ways of writing old code, such as changing an old script/function for the better.

I think it's very well written and already good to go. Minor questions after reading through it:

- If a parsed script has dot sourced files, are the functions in those files also listed, or are they stored separately in AST?

- What happens if the syntax of a parsed file is broken?

This is interesting as I'm looking for a PowerShell based solution to UI automated testing. It looks like AutoIt has a PowerShell module but not in the gallery.

Small update in PowerShellRun v0.16.0.

If ScriptBlock or Function entries have default parameters, you can see and overwrite those values with their "Invoke with arguments" action.

We could think of it as a snippet manager.

A red rectangle highlights an area above the XAML editor where a new breadcrumb navigation bar resides. It shows the breakdown of the XML document hierarchy starting from the root Page of the XAML document to the Caret's current position.

I've added a TabCompletion enhancement to PowerShellRun v0.13.1.

github.com/mdgrs-mei/Po...

It's similar to PSReadLine's MenuComplete, but the fuzzy finder can handle more completion candidates. The preview window shows the output from Get-Help or the completion ToolTip.

Do you use PSReadLine's MenuComplete or any module for completions? Maybe a PowerShellRun version of MenuComplete is useful?
