My Reading List
In an attempt to fill in an existing gap, NSoftware has made available a power shell toy, named PowerShellASP, which allows ASP.NET programmers to access the functionality of Windows PowerShell from inside ASP pages.
According to the authors, PowerShellASP is described as following:
PowerShellASP is an ASP-like template language for Web Applications; templates contain a mixture of markup (HTML, XML or whatever you want to generate) and inline PowerShell code. At runtime, templates/pages are fully translated to PowerShell code and executed as a single unit inside a PowerShell pipeline, with the results sent to the client browser.
PowerShellASP runs off the ASP.NET platform, implemented as a custom IHttpHandler mapped to *.ps1x files. Because of this, you can mix PowerShellASP pages alongside any ASP.NET application. This provides a great way to leverage PowerShellASP inside your existing applications as needed or you can create complete applications from scratch based only on *.ps1x pages.
In PowerShellASP, the usual Hello World example looks like this:
<html>
<body>
<hl>Hello <%= $request['name'] %>!</hl>
</body>
</html>
A page which displays the running processes on the machine looks like this:
The PowerShellASP can be downloaded free of charge under the PowerShellASP license.<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td>ID</td>><td>Name</td></tr>
<% get-process | %{ %>
<tr>
<td><%=$_.ID%></td>
<td><%=$_.ProcessName%></td>
</tr>
<% } %>
</table>
</body>
</html>
