❓ Classes

A class in .NET might be considered to be the recipe used to create a type. A type is a representation of something, anything.

Classes are created using the Class keyword.
An instance of the Car class can be created using ::new().

class Car { }
$car = [Car]::new()

What type results when you create classes like above?

❗ Classes

Properties are used to describe different information about an object.
A hashtable can be used to fill the properties of an object when the object is created.

class Car {
$Make
[string] $Model
}
$car = [Car]@{
Make = 'Volkswagon'
Model = 'Golf'
}

Properties which do not have an explicit type name defined are given the type System.Object.

$car | gm -name Make

❓ Classes

Methods are used to execute predefined actions. This may be changing a property of the object itself, or a change to the the thing the object represents, or it might be used to generate something new from the object.

class File {
[string] $Path
Create() {
New-Item -Path $this.Path -ItemType File 
}
}

$file = [File]@{
Path = "c:\temp\test.txt"
}
$file.Create()

Will you see any output in the shell?

❗ Classes

A method in a class can be assigned one or more arguments.
The return keyword must be used to return a value from the method

class File {
[string] $Path
[void] Create([String] $content) {
New-Item -Path $this.Path -ItemType File -Value $Content -Force
}
[String[]] ReadAll() {
