monitorfactory's Issues

Prior data color indicator not resetting on data refresh

Start-Monitor lets you flip between the current data set and the penultimate data set for simple comparison purposes. When you switch to the prior data set (Ctrl+D), the row count indicator box changes color to give a visual indicator. However, when the data refreshes (either automatically or manually) the displayed data set is now current but the row count indicator erroneously remains highlighted.

When running -AsJob, imports are only recognized if terminated with a semicolon

When generating a monitor as a background job (via -AsJob), the system has to understand your imports defined by Add-PSSnapin and Import-Module. These must precede any other code and should be recognizable when terminated either by a line break or a semicolon. V1.0.0. is only accepting the semicolon, though.

Example:
This fails because two of the three imports are using line breaks:

Start-Monitor -AsJob { 
    Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell
    import-module foo.bar; 
    import-module xyz
    Get-StaleTfsFiles C:\MyTfsRoot\Trunk 
}

DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode type not found

After removing AsJob = $true in sqlmonitor.ps1, received an unknown type error.

Unable to find type [DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode].
At ...\PowerShell\Modules\MonitorFactory\Components\Start-Monitor.ps1:506 char:22

•         $_.AutoSizeMode = [DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode]::None
  

•                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  

  • CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode:TypeName) [], RuntimeException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound

I had to fully qualify DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode at line 506 in start-monitor.ps1

$_.AutoSizeMode = [System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode]::None

Was I doing something wrong and did my "fix" actually fix something, or did some other cosmic event take place that made it run without throwing an error?
