Parameters

sendToPipeline

The object to be sent to the pipeline.

enumerateCollection

True indicates that Windows PowerShell runtime will enumerate the object one level. The default is False .

Exception typeCondition
PipelineStoppedException

The pipeline is stopped. The pipeline was terminated either before the call was made or while the call was in progress. By default, the cmdlet should allow the caller of the processing record method to catch this exception.

InvalidOperationException

The call cannot be completed at this time or cannot be completed from this thread. For more information, see the following Remarks section.

This method can be called only from within the cmdlet implementation of the BeginProcessing, ProcessRecord, and EndProcessing methods and only from that thread. If this call is made from outside these implementations or from another thread, an InvalidOperationException exception is thrown.

For more information about how to send an object that is not a collection, see the Cmdlet.WriteObject method.

Cmdlets can also write to the debug, error, progress, warning, and verbose data streams by using the following methods:

For more information about cmdlets, see Windows PowerShell Cmdlets.
