Afternoon all,
Having read a few guides online about PowerShell and XAML, I'm trying my hands at using Visual Studio Community to create a GUI for me, then Visual Studio Code to add my PS code.
For reasons beyond me I cannot get VSC to launch the form, yet the same code works perfectly fine in ISE.
Am I missing something? The below isn't the first tool I've began working on - only to have to fallback on ISE to complete.
Thanks in advance - and apologies if it looks naff!
