Hello Jay, The taskdef task was moved into the NAntContrib package, and you will need to copy it into the bin folder to use it, just like your task(s). Only assemblies that end in *Tasks.dll are loaded, and any <Tasks> in them are added to the available task list.
In the future, when someone takes the task upon themselves, there will be a feature to use a config file to specify which assemblies are analyzed to load tasks definitions. But in the mean-time you will need to name your custom tasks in the format of <custom_name>Tasks.dll or use the NAntContrib taskdef to do it. HTHs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vashi, Jay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 8:21 AM Subject: [nant-dev] Taskdef question > Hello, > > I'm writing a couple of custom tasks for Nant and have a question about how > to use them.
