[nant-dev] COM visibility

[Gert Driesen]

Hi,   Should all NAnt assembly (and all clasess within these assemblies) continue to be marked COM visible ?   Is there really a demand for using NAnt as an COM object ?  Has anyone ever tried to use NAnt as a COM component ?  If so, for what purpose ?   Currently, there are lots of classes that are not usable at all in a COM context because they :   - have no default public constructor - have static methods   What's the use of making, for example, the NAnt.Win32Tasks assembly visible to COM clients ?    In my opinion, we should make a decision on this matter.  Personally, I think it's of no use to actually mark the assemblies COM visible if they're not really usable as COM components, and if we're not planning on doing anything to support this.   What do you think about this ?   Gert
