write sitecore powershell inside C# code

Question

I'm working with Sitecore 9.2 , And I need to create a custom button inside custom ribbon when click on button open dialog so the content author can select date and then i will do my business function after that

first i created the ribbon
then i created the button
i created the command class which will contain the powershell code and my business function

the problem that the powershell script didn't executed , i need to know how to write powershell inside C# class and why my code didn't executed

public override void Execute(CommandContext context){
using (ScriptSession scriptSession = ScriptSessionManager.NewSession("Default", true)){ 
var command = "$result = Read-Variable -Parameters ` @{ Name=\"from\"; Value=[System.DateTime]::Now.AddDays(-5); Title=\"Start Date\"; Tooltip=\"Date since when you want the report to run\"; Editor=\"date time\"}` -Description \"This Dialog shows less editors, it doesn't need tabs as there is less of the edited variables\" `" +
" -Title \"Initialise various variable types (without tabs)\" -Width 500 -Height 480 -OkButtonName \"Proceed\" -CancelButtonName \"Abort\"  ";
List<object> results;
results = scriptSession.ExecuteScriptPart(command, false);
}
}

i found this error in the SPE log

Exception: System.InvalidOperationException Message: Non interactive session cannot perform an interactive operation requested by the 'Read-Variable' command.

you can add a button to the ribbon without C# code. wouldn't it be enough for you? doc.sitecorepowershell.com/modules/integration-points/… — Tamás Tárnok

Definitely overdoing things here. There are integration points that allow you to tap into the various features of the Content Editor with only items and PowerShell. — Michael West

Seems kind of counter-intuitive to go the effort of creating a button in C# and then not just writing the code in C#.... — jammykam
