Adding custom properties to an object

PowerShell cmdlets are capable of allowing administrators to work with most tasks. However, there are some situations where the returned objects don't satisfy the administrative needs of a certain script. In such situations, we may need to create our own custom objects based on the available .NET classes, or at least, add a custom property to the object.

While a string is an object of the System.String type, the Get-Process cmdlet returns an object of type System.Diagnostics.Process, Get-ChildItem returns an object with the type System.IO.FileInfo, and a custom-created object has the object type PSCustomObject.
