Hello, a very quick question...

I've built an orchestrator type of script in PowerShell/PowerCLI. It took me a while to build it and I am now asked to give it a GUI. No need to go fancy but a simple GUI that provides a level of abstraction for non experienced users.

My questions:

1. Is it possible to put a GUI on top of a PoweShell script using WPF but without changing the script?

2. Do I need to study C# before using WPF? I handle JS, Angular, PHP and I did Java at University but that was long ago and I never used it.

Many thanks for your time!

Cheers

I am a keen learner but also a realistic person. I need to have this ready by end of July and I work in IT Operations as full time. So...
1. do I need to learn C# to use WPF?

If you are a keen learner then you can adopt c# or any language easily. Although to keep GUI on top of other window, you can use TopMost = true im WPF.
