Calling Powershell scripts from NAV

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by jcastro 2,245

Hello dear experts!

Reading on Waldo's blog regarding the powershell session he carried out at Directions I got curious and I wanted to move a little project I have independant of NAV to inside NAV.

To accomplish that I need to be able to call Powershell script files from within NAV, and preferibly also be able to get the result as it's generated (messages, process % and such).

I have been messing around the System.Management.Automation dotnet class, specifically the Powershell type but when I run the Invoke method I get an "The Invoke method is ambiguous..." error.

Have any of you guys done something similar and can suggest a way to accomplish that? :) I'm working on NAV2013R2 at the moment.

    Hello Miguel (hola! :)),

    Thank you for the suggestion. Saldy I do not see how that can help me. I am looking for a way to access the Powershell tools (basic stuff, executing a script, getting the output (real time preferibly and not once it's finished) and that link teaches how to access other .net assemblies from within Powershell. I don't want to access .net FROM powershell, I need to access Powershell itself from NAV.

    Thank you very much for your input though!
