SYNTAX

Update-TypeData [[-appendPath] <string[]>] [-prependPath <string[]>] [<CommonParameters>]

 

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Updates the current extended type configuration by reloading the *.types.ps1xml files into memory. Extended type information is normally loaded when Windows PowerShell requires the type information it contains. The Update-TypeData cmdlet can be used to preload all type information. It is particularly useful when you are developing types and want to load those new types for testing purposes.
