Arrays of null values are messy

This method of supplying arguments to execute a method is difficult to work with for all but the simplest of methods. An alternative is to use the .NET method InvokeMethod on the class object:

$class = Get-WmiObject Win32_Share -List

$inParams = $class.GetMethodParameters('Create')

$inParams.Name = 'Share1'

$inParams.Path = 'C:\Temp\Share1'

$inParams.Type = 0

$return = $class.InvokeMethod('Create', $inParams, $null)

The last argument, set to null here, is InvokeMethodOptions, which is most often used to define a timeout for the operation. Doing so is beyond the scope of this chapter.
