IT and user support GUI made with XAML and Powershell
By: Jose Espitia

It's been a while since my last post but I just wanted to share something that I have been working on. Lately I have been trying to migrate all of my WinForms to WPF with Powershell and since I have started learning how to create WPF forms , I wanted to share a tool that I created called 'About Me'. This tool will give your users common information that support would need to assist them. If Outlook is installed, it will give users the ability to draft an email automatically with the information that is displayed in the tool. I also have included a 'Tools' section that has some shortcuts to commonly used utilities in the OS.
