Not only the command line for .NET classes but also the Windows GUI classes in .NET are available for building forms. Sapien has a GUI designer and an EXE compiler now. It's still just evolving but shows promise. Too bad they couldn't get Calvin on their team :-)

Generating collections of files in a folder or subset is just one of thousands of things you can do easily. I manage a lot of temp files that get consumed in our erp with a PS script.
