You'll get that error if you try that command in a directory without any childitems. bob, you’re probably in an empty directory.

For example: $theDate = new-object -Typename System.DateTime. I am working on a .NET tutorial that will assist with understanding this concept. Sound like you are lumping all objects in the same category, you will learn to work with .NET, ADSI, WMI, and COM objects. They are all objects but not the same type of object. For now it is important to understand the difference between PowerShell and the Windows Command Prompt which is PowerShell commands output objects, not blocks of text. Objects have properties and methods giving you a higher degree of power and control. Yes,

I thought I was just enumerating the objects and organizing them into meaningfull order? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I think it is an important concept if I'm not understaning it correctly. Objects, from what I understand, are users, computers, printers, wmi, adsi, and other information - I'm not creating anything, I'm just looking at data and possibly modifying it. I don't get the "allows you to create .NET objects" statement. Are you trying to say that I'm enumerating the objects into a powershell variable, which then allows me to do something with the data?

"Get-Member." This cmdlet is used to examine what properties and methods are available to an object." But it appears that get-member is only used to view the properties and methods of cmdlets, not objects. To get properties of an object wouldn't you have to focus on an object, not a cmdlet? What am I missing?
