Difference Between Pipeline and PowerShell class in C#

Question

I want to know the difference between executing PowerShell script in C# using the Pipeline class versus the PowerShell class.

Using Pipeline :

Pipeline pipe = runspace.CreatePipeline();

Using PowerShell class:

PowerShell ps = PowerShell.Create();

We can use both of them to execute PowerShell script in C#, but what is the difference between them?

Answer 1

You should read the documentation. A pipeline is a feature of a runspace. The PowerShell.Create() method will create a PowerShell object, a kind of wrapper for everything contained. Both of these methods belong to the same PowerShell SDK.

The Pipeline is intended to run commands and is underneath the runspace object.
