Passing “native” object to background jobs

Question

Here is what I\'d like to achieve in one way or another.

I have a custom assembly defining some objects. In my script, I create a custom object that I\'d like to pa

Answer 1

Background jobs are built on top of PowerShell remoting and as such, perform similar actions when passing objects around. They would serialize/ deserialize them rather than pass them with all their complexity.

My guess is that the only way to get complex object is just to pass constructor arguments and/ or operations as -ArgumentList and create object inside job.

In such a case also adding assembly would have to be part of the job:

Start-Job {
    param ($ConstructorArguments)
    Add-Type -AssemblyName MyCustomDll
    $object = New-Object MyCustomDll.MyCustomObject $ConstructorArguments
    $object | Get-Member
} -ArgumentList Foo, Bar | Wait-Job | Receive-Job
