Decorate your classes like so:
[DebuggerVisualizer(typeof(PoSHVisualizer.PoSHVisualizer))]
[Serializable]

Hit a breakpoint, launch a PowerShell session and operate on that object.

Create a custom visualizer by inheriting from the PoSHVisualizer.
Inject variables you want into the PowerShell environment.

Out of the box, the editing area has two ways to execute PowerShell commands that have been typed in.
The default is immediate mode. As you type, the script is immediately executed. You can toggle this by either
right clicking the edit area and clicking on the context menu or use the shortcut keys Ctrl-Shift-I.
