Show Powershell sized directory structure

Question

Trying to have a dir command that displays the size of subfolders and files. After googling "powershell directory size" I found two useful links

• Determining the size of the folder http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730945.aspx
• PowerShell Script get full directory PowerShell Script get total directory size

These soultions are great, but I'm looking for something similar to "dir" output, convenient and simple, and that I can use the folder structure anywhere.

So, I finished it, all the suggestions to make it simple, elegant, efficient.

Get-ChildItem | 
Format-Table  -AutoSize Mode, LastWriteTime, Name,
     @{ Label="Length"; alignment="Left";
       Expression={ 
                    if($_.PSIsContainer -eq $True) 
                        {(New-Object -com  Scripting.FileSystemObject).GetFolder( $_.FullName).Size}  
                    else 
                        {$_.Length} 
                  }
     };  

Thank.

FileSystemObject . .

function DirWithSize($path=$pwd)
{
    $fso = New-Object -com  Scripting.FileSystemObject
    Get-ChildItem | Format-Table  -AutoSize Mode, LastWriteTime, Name, 
                    @{ Label="Length"; alignment="Left"; Expression={  
                         if($_.PSIsContainer)  
                             {$fso.GetFolder( $_.FullName).Size}   
                         else  
                             {$_.Length}  
                         } 
                     }
}

COM, dir, PowerShell, :

function DirWithSize($path=$pwd)
{
    Get-ChildItem $path | 
        Foreach {if (!$_.PSIsContainer) {$_} `
                 else {
                     $size=0; `
                     Get-ChildItem $_ -r | Foreach {$size += $_.Length}; `
                     Add-Member NoteProperty Length $size -Inp $_ -PassThru `
                 }} |
        Format-Table Mode, LastWriteTime, Name, Length -Auto
}
