PowerShell Windows Mobile Provider

I'm still interested in automating most of my daily dev tasks , because I am always behind the schedule.

A time ago I've publushed a post about a possible way to automate some windows mobile related tasks by using PowerShell and RAPI ( OpenNETCF wrapper implementation)

Oisin Grehan (Microsoft MVP) kindly informed me few days ago about the PowerShell Windows Mobile Provider developed by him. It is hosted in the CodePlex

It provides the following features:

• Copy, Move, Delete items between folders on your device (including Storage Card) with standard PowerShell Cmdlets

• Move/Copy files to/from your device and your desktop with ConvertTo-WMFile and ConvertFrom-WMFile

• Get device information and manipulate and explore the registry with a rich device object returned from Get-WMDevice

• Invoke-Item against remote items to or execute or trigger their associated applications

• Invoke-Item with -Local switch to attempt to execute a remote file in the context of your local desktop (e.g. office docs or images/videos)

• New "Mode" attributes specific to Windows Mobile file attributes: (I)nRom, Rom(M)odule

• File/Folder objects' attributes can be modified with .Attributes properties just like FileInfos etc.

• Tab completion with MoW's PowerTab
