I have replaced some of th ecomments with:

Write-Verbose "Doing somthing..."

and I run my script via PS ISE like:

.\FooScript.ps1 -verbose

But in the output window I do not see any of those messages.

How can I make the write-Verbose messages displayed?

You need to add

[CmdletBinding()]

at the start of your script and use the

-verbose

parameter to see verbose messages.
