This is exactly the reason why we changed the names of that cmdlet family to *-ItemProperty (coming soon to a build near you.)
These cmdlets provide access to properties of items when exposed by a certain type of Cmdlet Provider. For example, the Registry provider lets you manage values on Registry keys.
This is a slightly different concept than properties on .Net or COM objects, although one could conceptually write a provider that does understand these type of objects.

Subject: [msh] get-property not working on alias
while playing with get-property, I got this error :
MSH>gp alias:td
get-property : Cannot use interface. The IPropertyCmdletProvider
interface is not supported by this provider.
At line:1 char:3
+ gp <<<< alias:td
as an alias has properies see command below, I think the provider should
provide this interface.
MSH>ls alias:td | gm -membertype property
TypeName: System.Management.Automation.AliasInfo
Name MemberType Definition
---- ---------- ----------
CommandType Property System.Management.Automation.CommandTypes
CommandType {get;}
Definition Property System.String Definition {get;}
Description Property System.String Description {get;set;}
Name Property System.String Name {get;}
Options Property
System.Management.Automation.ScopedItemOptions Options {get;set;}
ReferencedCommand Property System.Management.Automation.CommandInfo
ReferencedCommand {get;}
ResolvedCommand Property System.Management.Automation.CommandInfo

also it would be nice I think as GP will show ALL propeties

now it does not make a difference what command you use, I think if you
use get-property you should not get the default formatting but all
properties like this :
MSH>gi test.txt | fl *
MshPath :
Microsoft.Management.Automation.Core\FileSystem::C:\test.txt

maybe that would make it a bit more usefull in this case, as now its
just the same anyway.
b.t.w. I do not think I used the get-property command much before
anyway, as in the regprovider.
my natural reaction would be more like this :
(gi .).ExecutionPolicy = 'RemoteSigned'
but in this case I get back this information :
MSH>(gi .).property
Path
ExecutionPolicy
Ok this then ;-)
MSH>(gi .).property.ExecutionPolicy
MSH>(gi .).property |gm
TypeName: System.String
hmm, Nope not much use either.
