I'd like to be able to have the Dispose() method called when they go out of scope (regardless of whether the scope is exited because of an exception). I'd also like to be covered in the case of a Ctrl-C abort too.

I've run a report finding all PST files on our network, however, i have a lot of duplicates where the report has pulled multiple paths for each PST file... this is due to admin share paths as well as normal share filepaths.

In VBScript I would identify the likely error conditions and then script around them. For example, I map a drive and check errors. If the error is that there is already a drive mapped, then I unmap the remembered connection and try again. Drive mapping is just an example, but I'd like to know how to deal with this in general. The... 4 02.07.2007 17:26:08 Call powershell script via Batch-File Hi everyone, i wrote a script to sign my powershell scripts.

However i added them in the previous example. This technique can also be applied as easily to functions. anyhow an example.. $a = "whatever" $a = add-member -inputobject $a -membertype scriptmethod -name ... 1 30.06.2007 07:29:31 IDEA: Strongly typed scriptmethods akin to the previous post about scriptproperties, i've extended this for scriptmethods.. One of the thing that irked me about script methods, is that you couldn't have strongly typed parameters, basically all the params just came through in the $args so while in C# you could do string repeattext ( string text, int times) or even a powershell function you could do function repeattext... 1 30.06.2007 05:49:01 you can not call a method on null-valued expression I am trying to enable click event(submit button) in my aspx page.I have written the following code. $ie.document.getelementbyid("SubmitCreds").submit() It is giving error(you can not call a method on null-valued expression).Please help me. ... 5 29.06.2007 19:27:22 How to enter values in web page I know how to open Internet explorer.I want to add values webpage.
