If I’m making a quick app to take some input and generate a file, would Powershell or a C# Win/Console app be faster or more efficient?
Edit: Run faster, although I’m not anticipating any huge volume of operations. But I do know C# very well. However, if Powershell has stuff out of the box to do file/shortcut/parsing that’s easier than c#, then..
Code-wise, it’s about the same amount of effort. C# console app will be simpler since you don’t need to register anything with powershell and you don’t require the powershell runtime. Unless you need to take advantage of the existing commands available in PowerShell for what you want to do, a C# console app would be best.
