re: Deploy a PowerShell Module with SharePoint Cmdlets

Thanks for your article.

I am deploying a Visual Studio SharePoint Event Receiver which creates a new InfoPath form in a form library, whenever an InfoPath form in one of several libraries are updated and a property on the form is set to "approved". The event receiver works OK when I “hard” code variables in the receiver it and deploy it to a site on my Development Server.

When I deploy the Event Receiver to other SharePoint Farms, I have to change variables in the event receiver to their related values for the new farm and compile the WSP on my development server. I then move the WSP to the new farm and deploy it.

This works OK, but I would like to create properties in the Receiver, and be able to deploy the receiver with SharePoint PowerShell, so that I can add "Properties" to update the variables, and have PowerShell input the values for the properties and update the receiver variables for each new farm deployment.

What do I need to do to accomplish this?
