Add PowerShell to Syntax examples in framework documentation on MSDN

This is a request / suggestion to add Syntax examples for PowerShell to framework documentation on MSDN / docs.

[EdisonDa]

Thank you @pinecones-sx for your suggestion. Could you please share me a link as an example we can get evaluate more?

[pinecones-sx]

Sure! If you go to this link
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form(v=vs.110).aspx

there should be a "syntax" section. my ask is to have PowerShell syntax
examples added.

Given that this is .NET-related, re-assigning to myself 😄 @pinecones-sx we are moving away from MSDN, therefore no features will be added there. That said, it's fair game to suggest changes for docs.microsoft.com!

Regarding PS syntax, can you provide some examples of what you have in mind (e.g. what the signature would look like)?

Given that we have not obtained any clarifying information, I am going to close this issue. @pinecones-sx - feel free to comment with details, when you have the time, and we will re-assess re-opening the feedback item.

[pinecones-sx]

I DID respond. I did not receive a response back. So why are you closing this?

my bad, I just noticed that there was a response.

I understand that you're moving away from MSDN. in the meantime, all links point back to MSDN for the framework documentation. I don't know what a new site would look like, but I would hope it would still have syntax documentation. _edit: I just now noticed that the original link I provided points back a new docs.microsoft.com site with only a c# example. I've previously not seen an updated version like this._

as far as putting the onus on me to provide you with what the "Microsoft way" example of PowerShell syntax, I would hope you have in-house PowerShell subject matter experts that can provide you with better examples than I could.

but if that's what you need to consider the ask, this is likely how I'd go about instantiating a window in powershell:

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::EnableVisualStyles()
$Form = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Form

I'm by no means a PowerShell expert, and that is why I am asking for this to be documented, so I can have references for use. given that Microsoft has been pushing very, very hard on PowerShell from the admin side, I'm not the only person who would find this useful.

Following-up on this item - I am opening an internal issue to track the request for future experience considerations. Given that the work is currently not planned, I am closing this public issue. @pinecones-sx - appreciate your detailed breakdown of the problem at hand!
