    <p>I've narrowed my code down to this-</p> <pre><code>Function Check-VirtualPhysicalPath{ Param([Parameter(Mandatory=$True)] [AllowEmptyString()][String]$Page) #This creates an arraylist of items that are our virtual/physical paths $WebVD= Get-WebVirtualDirectory } </code></pre> <p>when I run this script in a function setting the results of 'Get-WebVirtualDirectory' returns a casting error. This has me baffled because when i try to run the line </p> <pre><code> $WebVD= Get-WebVirtualDirectory </code></pre> <p>in either a script or merely on the console there are no errors returned and i can access the variable and the data is correct. What am I doing wrong?</p> <p>Now as a side-note this is merely the problematic code so i'm not including everything, but even when i comment everything else out i end up just running what you see here with problems just the same. </p> <p>i'm calling the code with this in a separate script</p> <pre><code>$page = [string]$(gc "C:\page.txt") . C:\VP.ps1 $(Check-VirtualPhysicalPath($page)) </code></pre> <p>Powershell is reacting like i'm casting the $WebVD variable, I'm not sure if this is a bug or if i'm missing something entirely...</p> <p><b>Edit:</b></p> <p>it looks like i forgot to pull out that part of the code. I'm code crawling, the point of the hashtable is that i'm storing the number of times a resource is used in a hash table with the key being the file name and the value how many times it has been used so i use regular expressions to determine that. My question is unrelated to my other code because it's having problems even when my code only contains what you see above.</p>

    1. COThere are a few things I don't understand in your code. What's the use for the $Page variable in the function? Why do you return a hashtable that doesn't seem to be used anywhere? The code you have removed might help use to understand what's happening...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
