Hello all!  
This is mi first post in the forum, so try to be kind with me, hehehe 🙂

First of all, i’m so newbie related to Windows Forms.

In my current job, I have to modify one existing powershell script, that uses mainly windows forms.

Then, what IDE could use?  
I would like to import the script into the IDE, and then modify (using the grapical designer) in order to add some controls into the Form.

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards,  
Pablo

Hi,  
“sayisfied” maybe wouldn’t be the word 🙂

I going to hand edit the powershell script, It seems is the only way 😉

Try searching for “use visual studio for forms powershell”. A couple things come up, like this: [https://foxdeploy.com/2015/04/10/part-i-creating-powershell-guis-in-minutes-using-visual-studio-a-new-hope/](https://foxdeploy.com/2015/04/10/part-i-creating-powershell-guis-in-minutes-using-visual-studio-a-new-hope/)
