Interactive mode raises an exception when started from PowerShell about powerargs

[adamabdelhamed]

Interesting. I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done about this. If the ISE's internal console doesn't support the APIs that let me get the cursor position then I don't see how the tab completion will work here. The best I think I can do is catch this exception so that your program still works, but you won't get tab completion in that environment.

Does that sound sufficient?

Thanks,
Adam

Looking here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16113555/why-does-powershell-ise-hang-on-this-c-sharp-program) the PowerShell ISE doesn't support the Console class in C# at all. So I can't even fall back to a Console.ReadLine().

Even this simple C# exe will not run in the ISE (I tried it). It hangs even before printing the '>'.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.Write(">");
    var input = Console.ReadLine();
    Console.WriteLine("Echo: " + input);
}

So I unfortunately have to close this issue without providing a fix. Let me know if you have any other questions.
