It shows how to create a graphical user interface with Windows.Forms (dotnet) in Powershell.
The update added the ability for the font to adapt to the user's font theme and size changes in Windows. It's silly, really: Windows.Forms should do that by itself. But it doesn't, so every programmer has to be aware and make it happen. #accessibility#ux
⌛ The End of an Era: Microsoft Phases Out VBScript for JavaScript and PowerShell | @thehackernews
"Both NTLM and VBScript are known to be abused by threat actors to conduct malicious activities, prompting Redmond to remove features in an attempt to minimize the attack surface"
The most difficult thing about this script was to get the form and the tab control to size to their contents. That doesn't happen automatically. At Powershell level, the control size appears to have a Height and Width property that can be set. That is not the case on my Powershell and Windows 10 Pro. I had to create a System.Drawing.Size object and assign that to the size property.
I guess my #PowerShell scripts for our #SQLServer migration might be something of a hit. We'll see how they fare with 50-ish failover clusters here in a bit, but the tests with 10 or so were smooth as silk twice earlier today. I know this doesn't sound complicated — it's just failovers amirite? — but there are stumbling blocks that have to be accounted for including network latency, SIOS mirroring, Windows pending reboots, AD, DNS...y'know all of the usual wrenches getting thrown in the gears.
