Hi,

Microsoft has added lots of new feature in “Windows PowerShell ISE 3.0” . If you are “Powershell ISE” lover then you should try this new version of “Powershell ISE”.

I am using windows8 and it has “Powershell V3” and “Powershell ISE v3” installed by default.

So what’s new ? in New PowerShell ISE 3.0?

 

It has the main feature which was lacking in ISE Version 2

1. Intellisense.

   • 
2. We can use and Insert Snippets too.
   • 
   • 
3. Commands tab
   • In command tab, we can see List of all modules available. we can search for specific cmdlets.We can build command right on the Commands tab and directly run from there or insert to the script pane.
   • 
4. Update Powershell Help
   • Now we can “Update Powershell Help” using Powershell ISE 3.0, it is very simple.
   • Click on “help” and click on “Update Windows PowerShell Help” {it run update-help cmdlet actually }
   • 
   • and it will start updating all Powershell Help files.
   • 
5. New Menu bar Items
   • Microsoft had added two new menu bar items.
     • Tools
     • Add-ons
6. Themes
   • Now we have a option of customise how our Script pane and Console pane look like.
   • PowerISE 3.0 has 6 inbuilt themses
     • click on Tools
     • Click on Options
     • 
     • Now you can see that default theme “Dark console, Light Editor” is selected.
     • to change the theme , click on “Manage Themes”
     • and select the theme which you want to apply and click on OK
     • 
     • and click on APPLY
     • and now everything will be look like “Matrix movie”

That’s all for now
