[nant-dev] Solved: ReflectionTypeLoadException when using custom task

[Garrett S. <GS...@th...>]

I solved this problem.  I was compiling my custom tasks DLL using a 
version of NAnt different than the version I was running against.  The 
binaries were incompatible somehow.  So it wasn't a NAnt problem.

Thanks for the help of those that replied to me.

Best,
Garrett Smith
