PowerShell Cmdlet and Help Designer

Updated Wiki: Home

Note: This is a source-only release. The Cmdlet designer is a sharing platform. It requires a supporting database and web service, as described in the Deployment Guide. Please see the documentation for more information.

Project Description
The Cmdlet Designer makes it much easier for teams to concentrate on the design, naming, and consistency of their cmdlets, while also guaranteeing name registration and collision avoidance across a project.

To sweeten the deal, it offers:

Integrated help authoring
Efficient bulk operations (parameter and cmdlet cloning)
Generation of cmdlet code
Full scripting support
Automatic code-spec comparison and testing
Role-based security, history logging, and more.

Architecturally, the Cmdlet Designer offers a reference implementation to benefit developers as well:

UI on top of Cmdlets
UI extensibility through scripting
Cmdlet / Webservice interaction
Role-based security, with a trusted subsystem implementation

Removing test project from main solution. Removing auto-registration of snapin (so that Visual Studio doesn't need to run as admin.) Updating database creation script to add a TODO for database storage location.

Yes, there are missing files in this project. Get-ProviderHelp.ps1 is one, createTestData.sql is another.

It's great (really great) to have a reference project like this available, but it's difficult to learn from it when it can't even be compiled.

Hopefully someone will be able to upload the missing files soon...
