RE: [Nant-users] Developing NAnt tasks resource

[Marc H. <mar...@bb...>]

Thanks for the shout Christian!

My book does include a chapter on task creation amongst other stuff. Funn=
ily enough, there have been some questions on things such as assembly ver=
sioning, db integration and code generation in recent days on this list a=
nd the ccnet list. I'm not a very good self-publicist so I haven't mentio=
ned but seeing as someone else did... :)

BTW (and only slightly OT) - I haven't seen many responses to the thread =
on DB integration with DBGhost (from Ryan and Christian) but that looks l=
ike a great piece of work. In the book I make some custom tasks for RedGa=
te SQL Compare and so on, but this seems to be taking things on a step. G=
reat work guys.

Finally - pondering the threads on MSBuild and satisfying some thoughts o=
n NAnt - would anyone be interested in building a design surface (or UI) =
for NAnt? I figured you could store additional attributes against tasks (=
such as x y positioning and iconics) and then transform to a regular NAnt=
 script for running. A workflow designer type thing? I think that one of =
the barriers to entry on NAnt et al. is the lack of 'visual representatio=
n' for a newbie. It's one up on MSBuild too. I haven't thought through th=
e full ins and outs of the dependency mappings and so on, but maybe it co=
uld work. Has it been tried before?

All the best,

Marc

Can anyone point me at any resources for writing my own NAnt tasks (other=
