Executing a PowerShell script from C# with Parameters


Question

Sup. I'm adapting this solution to a Windows Forms solution. So far I've been able to execute the `Get-WUList` command with no problems. But it doesn't seem to go well with the `Hide-WUUpdate`. This is what I've tried so far:

 

    public class PowerShellController : IPowerShell
    {

        //Created at a global scope so anyone can fetch it.
        InitialSessionState initial;
        RunspaceInvoke scriptInvoker;
        Runspace runspace;
        PowerShell ps;

        //The View to Control
        IView view;

        //The Helper GridViewProcessor class
        IGridViewProcessor gp;

        //Initializing the Controller - Loads the Module.
        public PowerShellController()
        {
            initial = InitialSessionState.CreateDefault();
            initial.ImportPSModule(new string[] { @"C:\Users\Jose\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSWindowsUpdate\PSWindowsUpdate.psd1" });
            scriptInvoker = new RunspaceInvoke();
            scriptInvoker.Invoke("Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process");

            runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(initial);
            runspace.Open();

            using (ps = PowerShell.Create())
            {
                ps.Runspace = runspace;
            }

            //Console.WriteLine("Please Wait. This will take a while to load.");

        }


        public void SetView(IView view, IGridViewProcessor gp)
        {
            this.view = view;
            this.gp = gp;
        }


        public void GetAvailableUpdates()
        {

            MessageBox.Show("Ok. The program will kind of hang. This is normal." +
                            "This Means that it will start looking for updates "
                );

            IEnumerable<PSObject> WUList; //Placeholder for the PS Executed Command

            using (ps = PowerShell.Create())
            {
                //Adds the PowerShell Command
                ps.Commands.AddCommand("Get-WUList");
                //Executes the PowerShell command
                WUList = ps.Invoke();
            }
            
            //Loads the Model - Can be later on rewritten for Ninject Support.
            List<WindowsUpdate> model = new List<WindowsUpdate>();
            int id = 1;
            foreach (PSObject result in WUList)
            {
                WindowsUpdate item = new WindowsUpdate
                {
                    Id = id,
                    Name = result.Members["Title"].Value.ToString(),
                    Size = result.Members["Size"].Value.ToString(),
                    Type = UpdateType.Undefined,

                };
                model.Add(item);
                id++; //Icnrease ID count
                //Console.WriteLine("Update Name {0} --- Size: {1}", result.Members["Title"].Value.ToString(), result.Members["Size"].Value.ToString());
            }

            //Adds it to the view:
            view.AddUpdateToGrid(model);
        }

        public void HideSelectedUpdates(DataGridView grid)
        {
            //Gets SelectedUpdates to the WindowsUpdate model
            var SelectedUpdates = gp.GetSelectedUpdates(grid);
            using (ps = PowerShell.Create())
            {
                foreach (var update in SelectedUpdates)
                {
                    ps.Commands.Clear();
                    ps.Commands.AddCommand("Hide-WUUpdate").AddParameter("Title",update.Name).AddParameter("Confirm", false);
                                        
                    //ps.Commands.AddCommand("Hide-WUUpdate -Title \""+update.Name+"\"");
                   var result = ps.Invoke();
                    
                }

            }

            MessageBox.Show("Updates Have been hidden");

        }

    }


The method I can't seem to work is the `HideSelectedUpdates(DataGridView grid)`.

Script gets executed and no exceptions are thrown, but it doesn't seem to reflect any changes at all.

Any suggestions?
