I want to create an object in PowerShell with one of its private members being a list or array of different objects. There are two important features for this request.
The private member list or array must be able to grow dynamically (how would this work syntactically?)
The solution must be backwards compatible with PowerShell 2.0. This means I can't create a custom class using the "class" keyword.
Is there a way this can be done in PowerShell?
are you looking for something like this (works in v2 ):
$x = New-Object psobject
$arr = new-object system.collections.arraylist
$arr.add("test")
$arr.add("test3")
$arr.add(@{"test4"="another1"})
$x | add-member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name arr -Value $arr
$x.arr.add("test5")
write-output $x.arr
by default arrays are polymorphic in powershell , so you can store any type in the array and pass it into the object
private members are not possible in v2 (PowerShell - how to add private members?)
just do it:
#declaration array and variables differents types
$array=@()
$varstring='i am as tring'
$varint=0
$varobject=New-Object -TypeName "pscustomobject" @{val1="12"; val2="test"}
#add elements into array
$array+=$varstring
$array+=$varint
$array+=$varobject
#print array
$array
