First of all, thank you to my fellow presenters at PowerShell Conference Asia 2019.  All of you really helped me to update the content of my advanced PowerShell class.  Content will be delivered in PowerShell 7.  We will be addressing compatibility with your pre-exiting scripts when running in PSv7 as well as providing a few new tricks. As you can see, I am also adding in content on some of the experimental features that I think are going to be a hit.  If you are interested, drop me an email and I'll help get you into a physical class or join me on an online class.

In PowerShell Core (PSv6) we lost our beloved cmdlet.   Well, it is back! For these demonstrations I am utilizing PowerShell 7-Preview 4. Out-Gridview is actually being provided as a module.  Execute the code below to install it.  Out-GridView still works the same as it did before. Let’s take a look at a few of the features and what is new with Out-GridView.  The Quick Serach field works the same at the Filter field in the Windows PowerShell version of Out-Gridview.  Type something and if what you type appears in any of the objects property. Here is something new.  It involves the filtering capability.  Once you build a filter, click the Show Code button. You can now have Out-GridView to create the filter it is using in code so you can copy it and past
