View all the event receivers for a SharePoint list from Windows PowerShell ISE

Trying out event receivers in SharePoint I wanted to see which event receivers I have attached to my list. From here and here I was finally able to get a small script which when run in Windows PowerShell ISE would give you just that.

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell

$site = Get-SPSite -Identity "http://My_SharePoint_Site/"
$web = $site.RootWeb
$list = $web.Lists["<MY LIST>"]
$list.EventReceivers | Select assembly, name, type

The Add-PSSnapin command adds the SharePoint snap-in to current session so that you can use the commands like Get-SPSite. If you don't add that then you would end up with the error "The term 'Get-SPSite' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function…". Also once you run the command of Add-PSSnapin then you need not run it again and again for current session.
