c# - Powershell-string to listview -

i have created c# application that, among other things, should installed programs on remote computer using powershell code. can run code adds items single column in single row , i'm not able scroll in it.

can tell me how add each program new row, headers are: program, vendor, version ? here ps1 code:

invoke-command -computername $computername -scriptblock {     $swinstalled = get-wmiobject win32_product | select @{label="program";expression={$_.name}}, version, vendor | sort-object program     $swinstalled | ft } 

here relevant c# code:

also, here xaml code:

<listview x:name="swlist" height="404" margin="36,169,36,51" verticalalignment="center" rendertransformorigin="0.5,0.5" scrollviewer.horizontalscrollbarvisibility="disabled" borderthickness="0" visibility="hidden" grid.row="2">     <listview.rendertransform>         <transformgroup>             <scaletransform/>             <skewtransform anglex="-0.0"/>             <rotatetransform/>             <translatetransform x="0.346"/>         </transformgroup>     </listview.rendertransform>     <listview.view>         <gridview>             <gridviewcolumn header="program" displaymemberbinding ="{binding 'program'}" width="440"/>             <gridviewcolumn header="vendor" displaymemberbinding="{binding 'vendor'}" width="281"/>             <gridviewcolumn header="version" displaymemberbinding ="{binding 'version'}" width="150"/>         </gridview>     </listview.view> </listview> 

it looks you're looping through psobject results , appending them single stringbuilder. when you're adding results runscript swlist items, you're adding single string. that's why it's showing in 1 row.

and mike indicated in comment, using format-table cmdlet @ end of script undoing nice object properties generated powershell; causing show in single column.

here's example of updated runscript method returns collection of objects instead of single string. note how changed method signature return collection of psobjects instead of string. commented out line adds out-string end of pipeline. means you'll raw psobjects returned function. depending on script run, baseobject of these psobjects of different type. can access baseobject property of these psobjects values need.

private collection<psobject> runscript(string scripttext)     {         // create powershell runspace          runspace runspace = runspacefactory.createrunspace();          // open          runspace.open();         runspace.sessionstateproxy.setvariable("computername", compnameinput.text);         runspace.sessionstateproxy.setvariable("user", usernameinput.text);          // create pipeline , feed script text          pipeline pipeline = runspace.createpipeline();         pipeline.commands.addscript(scripttext);          // add command transform script output objects nicely formatted strings          // remove line actual objects script returns. example, script          // "get-process" returns collection of system.diagnostics.process instances.        //  pipeline.commands.add("out-string");          // execute script          collection<psobject> results = pipeline.invoke();          // close runspace          runspace.close();          return results;
