function New-DynamicParam 
{
[cmdletbinding()]
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Helper function to simplify creating dynamic parameters
     
    .DESCRIPTION
        Helper function to simplify creating dynamic parameters
 
        Example use cases:
            Include parameters only if your environment dictates it
            Include parameters depending on the value of a user-specified parameter
            Provide tab completion and intellisense for parameters, depending on the environment
 
        Please keep in mind that all dynamic parameters you create will not have corresponding variables created.
           One of the examples illustrates a generic method for populating appropriate variables from dynamic parameters
           Alternatively, manually reference $PSBoundParameters for the dynamic parameter value
 
    .NOTES
        Credit to http://jrich523.wordpress.com/2013/05/30/powershell-simple-way-to-add-dynamic-parameters-to-advanced-function/
            Added logic to make option set optional
            Added logic to add RuntimeDefinedParameter to existing DPDictionary
            Added a little comment based help
        Credit to https://github.com/RamblingCookieMonster/PowerShell/blob/master/New-DynamicParam.ps1
 
        Credit to BM for alias and type parameters and their handling
 
    .PARAMETER Name
        Name of the dynamic parameter
 
    .PARAMETER Type
        Type for the dynamic parameter. Default is string
 
    .PARAMETER Alias
        If specified, one or more aliases to assign to the dynamic parameter
 
    .PARAMETER ValidateSet
        If specified, set the ValidateSet attribute of this dynamic parameter
 
    .PARAMETER Mandatory
        If specified, set the Mandatory attribute for this dynamic parameter
 
    .PARAMETER ParameterSetName
        If specified, set the ParameterSet attribute for this dynamic parameter
 
    .PARAMETER Position
        If specified, set the Position attribute for this dynamic parameter
 
    .PARAMETER ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName
        If specified, set the ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName attribute for this dynamic parameter
 
    .PARAMETER HelpMessage
        If specified, set the HelpMessage for this dynamic parameter
     
    .PARAMETER DPDictionary
        If specified, add resulting RuntimeDefinedParameter to an existing RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary (appropriate for multiple dynamic parameters)
        If not specified, create and return a RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary (appropriate for a single dynamic parameter)
 
        See final example for illustration
 
    .EXAMPLE
         
        function Show-Free
        {
            [CmdletBinding()]
            Param()
            DynamicParam {
                $options = @( Get-WmiObject win32_volume | foreach {$_.driveletter} | sort-object )
                New-DynamicParam -Name Drive -ValidateSet $options -Position 0 -Mandatory
            }
            begin{
                #have to manually populate
                $drive = $PSBoundParameters.drive
            }
            process{
                $vol = Get-WmiObject win32_volume -Filter "driveletter='$drive'"
                "{0:N2}% free on {1}" -f ($vol.Capacity / $vol.FreeSpace),$drive
            }
        } #Show-Free
 
        Show-Free -Drive <tab>
 
    # This example illustrates the use of New-DynamicParam to create a single dynamic parameter
    # The Drive parameter ValidateSet populates with all available volumes on the computer for handy tab completion / intellisense
 
    .EXAMPLE
 
    # I found many cases where I needed to add more than one dynamic parameter
    # The DPDictionary parameter lets you specify an existing dictionary
    # The block of code in the Begin block loops through bound parameters and defines variables if they don't exist
 
        Function Test-DynPar{
            [cmdletbinding()]
            param(
                [string[]]$x = $Null
            )
            DynamicParam
            {
                #Create the RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary
                $Dictionary = New-Object System.Management.Automation.RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary
         
                New-DynamicParam -Name AlwaysParam -ValidateSet @( Get-WmiObject win32_volume | foreach {$_.driveletter} | sort-object ) -DPDictionary $Dictionary
 
                #Add dynamic parameters to $dictionary
                if ($x -eq 1)
                {
                    New-DynamicParam -Name X1Param1 -ValidateSet 1,2 -mandatory -DPDictionary $Dictionary
                    New-DynamicParam -Name X1Param2 -DPDictionary $Dictionary
                    New-DynamicParam -Name X3Param3 -DPDictionary $Dictionary -Type DateTime
                }
                else
                {
                    New-DynamicParam -Name OtherParam1 -Mandatory -DPDictionary $Dictionary
                    New-DynamicParam -Name OtherParam2 -DPDictionary $Dictionary
                    New-DynamicParam -Name OtherParam3 -DPDictionary $Dictionary -Type DateTime
                }
         
                #return RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary
                $Dictionary
            }
            Begin
            {
                #This standard block of code loops through bound parameters...
                #If no corresponding variable exists, one is created
                    #Get common parameters, pick out bound parameters not in that set
                    Function _temp { [cmdletbinding()] param() }
                    $BoundKeys = $PSBoundParameters.keys | Where-Object { (get-command _temp | select-object -ExpandProperty parameters).Keys -notcontains $_}
                    foreach ($param in $BoundKeys)
                    {
                        if (-not ( Get-Variable -name $param -scope 0 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue ) )
                        {
                            New-Variable -Name $Param -Value $PSBoundParameters.$param
                            Write-Verbose "Adding variable for dynamic parameter '$param' with value '$($PSBoundParameters.$param)'"
                        }
                    }
 
                #Appropriate variables should now be defined and accessible
                    Get-Variable -scope 0
            }
        }
 
    # This example illustrates the creation of many dynamic parameters using New-DynamicParam
        # You must create a RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary object ($dictionary here)
        # To each New-DynamicParam call, add the -DPDictionary parameter pointing to this RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary
        # At the end of the DynamicParam block, return the RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary
        # Initialize all bound parameters using the provided block or similar code
