PROBLEM ASSIGNING A RETURNED VALUE TO A VARIABLE

[mzachen]

Here is my problem...

This code:

import-module WebAdministration
Get-WebAppPoolState AppPoolName

Produces the following output:

Value
-----
Stopped


But this code:

import-module WebAdministration
$state = Get-WebAppPoolState AppPoolName
WRITE-HOST $state

Produces this output:

Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.CodeProperty


When I get the state of the App Pool using Get-WebAppPoolState, I need a boolean value of some sort to assign to the variable so I can use it in a conditional statement. I cant use the Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.CodeProperty line. How do I correct this? Please help!

If you are looking for just the value, use

$state = (Get-WebAppPoolState AppPoolName).value
