![]() As you can see in the screenshot below, it displays the the syntax of each parameter set separately.įor more information about the available arguments of the Parameter attribute, please read Microsoft’s documentation. I only scratched the surface here of what you can do with advanced functions. After all, advanced functions are for making cmdlets in scripts, and PowerShell consists mostly of cmdlets.īecause advanced functions are so powerful, PowerShell geeks often recommend using them instead of simple functions.Īctually, describing everything there is to say about advanced functions is essentially describing PowerShell. However, in my view, this doesn’t really make sense. Albert Einstein once said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” The quantifier “Everything” also applies to PowerShell. Because disproving Einstein has proved difficult, you should use simple functions when possible and use advanced functions only when you really need them. So, when do you need advanced functions? I already answered this question at the beginning of this post. You usually only need advanced functions when you create cmdlets that will be used in an interactive environment. In a way, the term “advanced function” is a bit misleading. Because there is only one keyword for creating functions ( Function), there is actually only one type of function. The CmdletBinding and Parameter attributes just change the behavior of functions. But this also applies to other keywords, such as Process or the validation attributes (which don’t need advanced functions). ![]()
