Powershell - Calling C# function inside a job

Question

I have a PowerShell program with C# code inside. I want that the C# function will run in a new job. I tried this-

start-job -name Job1 -ScriptBlock {[MyProgram.Program]::Main()}

It looks like the job was executed but nothing happened.

What does "it doesn't work" mean ? Do you have an error message ? — Pac0

Cannot work, because scriptblock don't know declaration of c# class. — f6a4

@f6a4 so is there a way to execute C# function using start-job? — shon

@shon Jobs execute in a separate process, so you'll need to compile/execute your C# code in the {} scriptblock before calling Main() — Mathias R. Jessen

        {

            //-------------------------------------
            public static void Main()
            //-------------------------------------
            {
                // Your c# Code here
            }

        }
    }
