How to provide C# RunSpace for PowerShell?

Question

I'm trying to print response of Powershell script which shows me services running on a remote host.

Get-Service -ComputerName "ComputerName"

When I run this on Powershell, I get the desired output. But when I try the same using C#, I get the following exception.

There is no Runspace available to run scripts in this thread. You can provide one in the DefaultRunspace property of the System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.Runspace type.

The code that I'm using is:

       var powerShell = PowerShell.Create().AddScript(script);

        var results = powerShell.Invoke();

        foreach (var item in results)
        {
            try
            {
                Console.WriteLine(item);
            }
            catch (ExtendedTypeSystemException e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e);
                break;
            }
        }

Edit: Output in PowerShell

PowerShell version is 3. Visual Studio version is 2010 Ultimate

Looks like I had a similar problem when calling a script property. But to get the data you're looking for the fastest try this. Modify the command (var script), then where the (thing.Members[%%%%%].Value) is you need to put the PowerShell Property that you want to pull or view. (noted below)

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var script = "Get-NetIPAddress ";

        var powerShell = PowerShell.Create().AddScript(script).Invoke();

        foreach (var thing in powerShell)
        {
            try
            {
                //the Members must be PROPERTIES of the PowerShell object
                var name = (thing.Members["InterfaceAlias"].Value);
                var ip= (thing.Members["IPv4Address"].Value);

                Console.WriteLine("Connection: " + name + " .......... IP: " + ip);
            }
            catch
            {

            }

        }

        Console.Read();
    }
}
