Hi Arjen, Good to see someone finally took the time to implement these tasks, great work
However, I'm not sure the FxCop task is very useful as you've implemented it, but I could be wrong ofcourse ... I think we could actually start from an existing FxCop project file as it doesn't make sense to apply all rules to an assembly, and consider it a failure when it doesn't pass all those rules. I had thought about implementing the FxCop task as a task that supports a fileset for the targets (like you did) and a fileset for (custom) rule files, and have it just generate the Targets and RuleFiles nodes in a copy of the specified FxCop project file. That way you have the power of the fxcop project without having any "hard coded" paths in the FxCop project. We could also support the types option, but I don't think its really necessary if we require a FxCop project file anyway. If we support the types option then we could support it using a nested types build element. I think we can also remove the target attribute and only support the fileset. For the regsvcs task I would prefer to always explicitly specify the action, even for the "install"/"create" action. Ofcourse these are all just personal suggestions/remarks, and by no means I want to sound ungrateful for the work you've done. Keep up the good work !

Before I post them to the list, I would like to know it there's interest. First, a wrapper Nant task for FxCop, which can be found at http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/fxcop. This tools checks for compliance with the .NET Design guidelines. The task basically wraps FxCopCmd.exe. A suggestions for such a task was made almost a year ago (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00 683.html), but I don't see it in CVS, so I guess nobody ever took time to create it. FxCop is a major pain, btw. It requires that all reference assemblies of the target assembly are either in the GAC or in the same directory. I found no way to get around this. It also requires that you specify the rules (directory) to use. Why the folks in Redmond couldn't do a simple AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory and append "rules" to it (since that's its default location) is beyond me. Enough ranting, you can use the task as follows: <fxcop target="bin\debug\SomeAssembly.dll" types="MyNameSpace.*" rules="D:\Program Files\Microsoft FxCop 1.21\Rules"/> This checks all types in the namespace MyNameSpace, found in found in SomeAssembly. <fxcop target="bin\debug" types="MyNameSpace.*" rules="D:\Program Files\Microsoft FxCop 1.21\Rules"/> This checks all all types in the namespace MyNameSpace, found in all assemblies in bin\debug. <fxcop rules="D:\Program Files\Microsoft FxCop 1.21\Rules"> <targets basedir="bin"> <includes name="**/*.dll" /> </targets> </fxcop> Look, mommy! It's Fully FileSet-Compliant [TM]! Two final things about this task: FxCopCmd.exe needs to be in your path, and the default location of the rules is currently ${nant.location}\FxCop. I would prefer to use the FxCop installation directory (eg. C:\Program Files\Microsoft FxCop 1.21\Rules"), but I do not know of any (efficient) way to find this path. Next, the second task: This one wraps RegSvcs.exe, The .Net tool to load and register an assembly, or a COM+ application, or to configures services that you have added programmatically to your class. Pretty basic stuff. Use it with: <regsvcs assembly="MyServicedComponent.dll"/> To install MyServicedComponentas a COM+ app. <regsvcs action="Uninstall" assembly="MyServicedComponent.dll" /> To uninstall it.
