Hi Keith,

The C# code in the article is just to show the functionality of the dll.
The dll’s can be referred inside the PS code using the dll file path

#Referring the dll in the script
Add-Type -Path “C:\PowerShell\custlib.dll”

#To access an object in the dll, Create object of CustomClass which is defined in the DLL, create new object of the class
$custObj = New-Object CustomNamespace.CustomClass

#Access the variable using the new object $custObj
$custObj.variablename

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Hello, That’s an interesting article. However, I am trying to refer to constants in installed C# DLLs from a PowerShell script. I do not want to include the C# source code in the PowerShell script. Is this possible? Many thanks. -Keith
