  • Article

This sample shows how to overwrite the System.Management.Automation.Provider.Itemcmdletprovider.Getitem* and System.Management.Automation.Provider.Itemcmdletprovider.Setitem* methods to support calls to the Get-Item and Set-Item cmdlets. The provider class in this sample derives from the System.Management.Automation.Provider.Itemcmdletprovider class.

Demonstrates

Important

Your provider class will most likely derive from one of the following classes and possibly implement other provider interfaces:

For more information about choosing which provider class to derive from based on provider features, see Designing Your Windows PowerShell Provider.

This sample demonstrates the following:
