How to convert pSObject to c# class

Question

public class MyInfo        
{
 public string Status { get; set; }
 public string Class { get; set; }
 public string FriendlyName { get; set; }
 public string InstanceId { get; set; }
}

string strScript = "Get-PnpDevice";
Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
runspace.Open();
Pipeline pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
pipeline.Commands.AddScript(strScript);
pipeline.Commands.Add("Out-String");
Collection<PSObject> results = pipeline.Invoke();
runspace.Close();

foreach (PSObject pSObject in results)
{

}

After JsonConvert.SerializeObject(pSObject);

But I need is MyClasss.Class so i can diferentiate or make some condition on it .

Here is an example that converts WMI data to a custom class - the same technique should work in your case: [Dealing with CimObjects with PowerShell inside C#](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51099688/dealing-with-cimobjects-with-powershell-inside-c-sharp/51103104#51103104) — boxdog, Feb 17 '22 at 07:50

1 => Create this classes

public class HardwareDevice
{
    public string Name { get; set; }        
    public List<HardwareProperty> Properties { get; set; }
    public HardwareDevice()
    {
        Properties = new List<HardwareProperty>();
    }
}

public class HardwareProperty
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }        
}

2 = > Call this method which return List

var hardware = GetHardwareInfo(string "select * from Get-PnpDevice", string scope = "ROOT\\CIMV2")

3 = > here is the method

List<HardwareDevice> GetHardwareInfos(string query, string scope = "ROOT\\CIMV2")
    {
        List<HardwareDevice> hardwares = new List<HardwareDevice>();
        try
        {
            ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query);
            foreach (ManagementObject share in searcher.Get())
            {
                HardwareDevice hrd = new HardwareDevice();
                try
                {
