my understanding is that we cannot use powershell ise because it would not recognize commands like 'Get-Spweb'
what are the steps involved in debugging using visual studio 2010. ?
which process to attach ?

thanks for your help

I installed the Power GUI on my laptop.
i am also able to put the breakpoints. Now, my understanding is that when the breakpoint hits it should bring up the cmd prompt. Is that right ?
Actually, i am kind of newbie in powershell, so, would you mind to be little more descriptive in your reply.

thanks for all your help and support !!

no what it does is allow you to look at the variables and you can check other areas of the system.

I like powergui myself, as my Visual Studio takes forever to load

Microsoft Development

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
