ActionPreference Enumeration

[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Defines the actions that the Windows PowerShell runtime takes when an error occurs, and when debugging, progress, warning, and verbose messages are written.

Namespace: System.Management.Automation
Assembly: System.Management.Automation (in System.Management.Automation)

Copy

'Usage
Dim instance As ActionPreference

Copy

public enum ActionPreference

Copy

public enum ActionPreference

Copy

public enum ActionPreference

Member name	Description
Continue	The Windows PowerShell runtime will continue processing and notify the user that an action has occurred.
Ignore
Inquire	The Windows PowerShell runtime will stop processing and ask the user how it should proceed.
SilentlyContinue	The Windows PowerShell runtime will continue processing without notifying the user that an action has occurred.
Stop	The Windows PowerShell runtime will stop processing when an action occurs.

The actions that the Windows PowerShell runtime takes are also referred to as policies. For example, if a cmdlet ErrorAction parameter is set to SilentlyContinue, the cmdlet runs under a SilentlyContinue policy.
