Creating Applications That Use the Default Host

This section includes information about creating console applications that use the runspace in different ways without defining a custom host. These applications all use the default hosting application (poweshell.exe), and they do not implement the PSHost class or its related user interface classes.

Note:
For more information about how hosting applications and hosts works with other Windows PowerShell components, see How Windows PowerShell Works.
