Get PSObject array size or count - powershell

Question

I create an array like this:
$Array = #()
$Item = New-Object PSObject
$Item | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name item1 -Value test
$Item | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name item2 -Value test
$Array += $Item
Now I want to add a check to determine if $Item is empty before adding it in $Array. How can I get the member count of $Item ?
I tried stuff like :
$Item.count
$Item.length
#($Item).count
($Item | Measure).count
($Item | Get-Member).count
$Item.psobject.members.count
But none of them gives me the actual member count.

Answer 1

You can use the hidden .PsObject.Properties to either check for
$Item.PSobject.Properties.Value.count or
$Item.PSobject.Properties.Names.count
$Item = New-Object PSObject
$Item.Psobject.Properties.value.count
0
$Item | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name item1 -Value test
$Item.Psobject.Properties.value.count
1
$Item | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name item2 -Value test
$Item.Psobject.Properties.value.count
2

Answer 2

The correct way is:
($Item|Get-Member -Type NoteProperty).count

Answer 3

The following Get_ItemCount function could help:
Function Get_ItemCount {
$aux = $($item | Get-Member -MemberType NoteProperty)
if ( $aux -eq $null ) {
0
} elseif ( $aux -is [PSCustomObject] ) {
1
} else {
$aux.Count
}
}
$Item = New-Object PSObject
Get_ItemCount # 0
$Item | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name item1 -Value test
Get_ItemCount # 1
$Item | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name item2 -Value test
Get_ItemCount # 2
