Remarks

The ItemCmdletProvider class is a base class that a provider derives from to inherit a set of methods that allows the PowerShell engine to provide a core set of commands for getting and setting of data on one or more items. A provider should derive from this class if they want to take advantage of the item core commands that are already implemented by the engine. This allows users to have common commands and semantics across multiple providers.
