powershell get return status and output to null

How can I get the return status of a command ran, while outputting any messages to out-null.

Right now I have

{command} | out-null

I would like to get the return status $? of that command though. Anyway to do that?

Thanks

exit $LastExitCode

You will get above return code on windows CLI using echo %errorlevel%. You can also return custom error code like this - exit 84

As requested, here's my comment as an answer... I'm guessing $LastExitCode will still hold the exit code; as a rule of thumb use $? for CMDLets and $LastExitCode for external apps.
