opening windows form in powershell - winforms

Question

I am attempting to create a powershell script that will ask the user to restart the computer after a certain number of days. I'm building the script in VS 2012, and would like the script to open a windows form I'm building in the project.
$lastboot = (Get-CimInstance -Class win32_operatingsystem).lastbootuptime
$cutoff = (Get-Date).AddDays(-30)
If(($lastboot) -le ($cutoff)) {
Write-Output "Reboot Required"
}
Else{
Write-Output "No Reboot Required at this time"
}
Any advice on how I can get the script to call up the restart windows form (restartForm.cs).

Answer 1

Why don't you build the GUI in powershell?
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$form = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Form
$form.Text = "My Fancy Windows Form"
[void]$form.ShowDialog()
$form.Dispose()

Answer 2

FYI... There are tools you can add to VS to help with this.
Just add PowerShell to you VS project and add to your existing project. You just download and use the PowerShell VS integration add-in. Use your form designer.
