Command Class
Defines a command that contains a single cmdlet or script. The Command object is used by the PowerShell and Pipeline objects to define a single command.


Namespace: System.Management.Automation.Runspaces
Assembly: System.Management.Automation (in system.management.automation.dll)
Dim instance As Command
Visual Basic
Public NotInheritable Class Command
C#
public sealed class Command
C++
public ref class Command sealed
J#
public final class Command
JScript
public final class Command

The Command object can be used in two ways.

  • The AddCommand method of the PowerShell object can use the Command object when creating a pipeline.

  • The Invoke or InvokeAsync methods of the Pipeline object can use the Command object when invoking the pipeline.

    In this case, the Command objects are contained in a CommandCollection that is accessed through the Commands property.

Windows PowerShell provides two classes that can be used to define a command. The PSCommand class allows you to build a pipeline of commands (A|B|C) that contain one or more cmdlets and scripts. In contrast, the Command class allows you to specify only a single cmdlet or script in the command.
