Today I’ve been asked, how I can get a “header” for an array. So you can access the contents via a property like $Obj.AccountName.
=> 
The idea was given by
Import-Csv -Header
I found some solutions to this.
Explicit with a class
### Explicit with a class
class User
{
[String]$Accountname
User ([String[]]$Username)
{
$this.Accountname = $Username
}
}
@('myUser','Your') | % {[User]::new($_)}
Implicit with select (somewhat shorter)
@('myUser','Your') | select @{l='Accountname';e={$_}}
Implicit with PSCustomObject
@('myUser','Your') | %[PSCustomObject]@{ Accountname = $_ }}
Results
What are the results? Are the results equal?
The result always look like this:
In each case we get an object array (Object[]). But there are different objects in it. With the class version there are self defined “User” Objects in the array. In the two other cases we get an unspecific PSCustomObject.
