Let us now proceed to create a custom object.

1. To create a custom object, use New-Object cmdlet. 

PS /home/PacktPub> New-Object -TypeName PSCustomObject

2. That was not of much use to us. Let us add a few properties into it, along with their values and store these values in a variable.

PS> $MyCustomObject = [pscustomobject]@{ 
  Name = 'Prashanth Jayaram'
  Title = 'PowerShell'
  Publisher = 'Packt' 
}

PS> $MyCustomObject

3. To add properties to an object, use the Add-Member cmdlet.

PS> $MyCustomObject | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'Location' -Value 'United States'
PS> $MyCustomObject

4. To remove a property from an object, use the following command.

PS> $MyCustomObject.PsObject.Properties.Remove('Location')

PS> # To see if the property is still available, run:
PS> $MyCustomObject.Location

5. To access properties, you can use the member access operator (.).

PS> $MyCustomObject.Name 
Prashanth Jayaram

PS> $MyCustomObject.Title 
PowerShell

PS> $MyCustomObject.Publication 
Packt
