I've written this rather cumbersome PowerShell script that facilitates a business use case. Because I built it off a PowerShell auditing tool I made, it was formatted differently.
What I'd like to do, in the module that launches the WPF window, is have it launch a runspace for the portion that verifies whether the mailbox is on Exchange onprem or on cloud, then launch another runspace to make the change.
However, some guides I've seen suggest that I write a C# to launch the menu, and then functionalize the actual 2-3 PowerShell sections for the C# based menu to call. (I don't know visual studio or C# well enough to do that without major heart palpitations.)
