Bringing this over to the developers list: I see what you mean about appdomain issues. I'll look into the code as I expect the implementation might be somewhat easy. I'll also try to write some good tests!
Would it be feasible to create a second appdomain, load the assembly into that appdomain, generate the schema, and finally unload the appdomain? Actually, this could be a cool way for <loadtasks/> to work since that would allow users to <unloadtasks/> later... Assuming that's something people would want to do... I don't know... My appdomain knowledge is almost non-existent (I know appdomains exist and I sort of know what they're about, but that's pretty much it). If there are some reasons as to why using a second appdomain would be bad please let me know.

Subject: Re: [Nant-users] NantContrib [loadtasks] No idea when this would get worked on, but the implementation should be pretty simple. Most of the code is written to support creating a schema of arbitrary Type objects. But be careful as loading types means loading assemblies, and loading the assembly in the appdomain may cause the task, types and functions to be loaded... (which I believe it will). This would have the side effect of basically doing a <loadtasks/> on the assemblies you want to create a schema for. Another approach may be to require that the assemblies you want to create a schema for are already loaded, and just filter the rest of the loaded assemblies out. Either way, documenting the behavior is probably all that is needed. :) If you want to discuss any more of the internal code I would suggest moving this thread over to the dev list. If you put together a patch you can post it to the nant-dev list for review. If you include an updated unit test you are even more likely to get someone to test it and commit it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Castro, Edwin Gabriel (Firing Systems Engr.)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > That's good to know!
