Several Cmdlets from Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility are missing

[ffeldhaus]

The following Function and Cmdlets are missing from Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility

Function        ConvertFrom-SddlString                             3.1.0.0    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility
Cmdlet          ConvertFrom-String                                 3.1.0.0    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility
Cmdlet          Convert-String                                     3.1.0.0    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility
Cmdlet          ConvertTo-Html                                     3.1.0.0    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility
Cmdlet          Export-PSSession                                   3.1.0.0    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility
Cmdlet          Import-PSSession                                   3.1.0.0    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility
Cmdlet          Out-GridView                                       3.1.0.0    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility
Cmdlet          Out-Printer                                        3.1.0.0    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility
Cmdlet          Send-MailMessage                                   3.1.0.0    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility
Cmdlet          Show-Command                                       3.1.0.0    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility
Cmdlet          Unblock-File                                       3.1.0.0    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility
Cmdlet          Update-List                                        3.1.0.0    Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility

It would be great if at least the Convert-FromString, Convert-String, ConvertTo-Html, Send-MailMessage and Update-List Cmdlets get implemented. The Out-GridViewand Show-Command Cmdlets may be difficult due to graphical interface requirements, similar for Out-Printer with external printer requirement. A removal notice (ideally including explanation) should be added to the release notes for the other Cmdlets if they will be permanantly removed.

Command availability table need to be updated.

I just coming up with these missing ones. But specially I was need the ConvertTo-Html cmdlet.

Missing Send-MailMessage

[Pax-nl]

This example from Technet to solve my issue with missing the ConvertTo-Html cmdlet does not work either.

$URL = Read-Host "Enter URL to Decode" $Encode = [System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlEncode($URL) Write-Host "This is the Encoded URL" $Encode -ForegroundColor Green

`

• $Encode = [System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlEncode($URL)

•         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  

  • CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Web.HttpUtility:TypeName) [], RuntimeException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound`

EDIT: found a working solution
[uri]::EscapeDataString($SitePath)

I successfully build the PS module in Ubuntu 16.04 as shown in https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/docs/building/linux.md

I am doing some tests and I have this error:

Unable to find type [System.Net.ServicePointManager].

Also I can't find [System.Web].

@PowerShell/powershell-committee reviewed this, show-command, unblock-file, out-gridview, out-printer won't be in PowerShell Core. ConvertFrom-String and Convert-String is dependent on MSR. The other ones should be in PS Core.

[Liturgist]

Is there any documentation I could read to get a better understanding of the planned structure? Is there a definition of PowerShell Core? Are there other PowerShell ??? kits defined?

Today I was looking for [System.Web.HttpUtility]::HtmlEncode(), but ended up using [uri]::EscapeDataString() mentioned in this issue. Not totally the same thing.

[pcgeek86]

Are there plans to implement Send-MailMessage? Maybe this should be broken out into separate issues for specific cmdlet implementations.
