PowerShell function won't return object
- by Dan
I have a simple function that creates a generic List:
function test()
{
$genericType = [Type] "System.Collections.Generic.List``1"
[type[]] $typedParameters = ,"System.String"
$closedType = $genericType.MakeGenericType($typedParameters)
[Activator]::CreateInstance($closedType)
}
$a = test
The problem is that $a is always null no matter what I try. If I execute the same code outside of the function it works properly.
Thoughts?
