The reason for this, besides the fact that the System.Data.SqlClient NuGet package is now deprecated, is that I wanted to see SQL performance counter metrics, such as how many active SQL connections my app was using. System.Data.SqlClient supports performance counters on… ## [Type less by using PowerShell type accelerators](https://blog.danskingdom.com/Type-less-by-using-PowerShell-type-accelerators/) _2024-10-14 · Daniel Schroeder · Daniel Schroeder’s Programming Blog_ I had heard the PowerShell term “type accelerators” a few times, but never really knew what that meant.
