PowerShell execute command with arguments safely

In my opinion this is the best way for executing external commands from PowerShell with arguments in a safe manner - via the use of an array to hold the arguments.

Consider this one a PowerShell gem to keep in the toolbox.

Note: the example below makes use of EchoArgs.exe - a small utility that simply echoes back arguments passed to it. Utility is part of the PowerShell Community Extensions, or the exe alone can be downloaded at http://ss64.com/ps/EchoArgs.exe.

Example

Running example.ps1 yields the following output:

    public class EmbededAssemblyHelper
    {
        private static Assembly _embededResourcesAsm;
        private static string _embededResourcesNamespace;

        public static void Setup(Assembly embededResourcesAsm, string embededResourcesNamespace)
        {
            _embededResourcesAsm = embededResourcesAsm;
            _embededResourcesNamespace = embededResourcesNamespace;
        }
