The fileset should not be a build element of the custom task, it should be a task attribute (just a string property). Within the task, you can resolve the fileset id to the previously created fileset instance using the Task.Project.DataTypeReferences property.

The below solution seems to have legs, however, I'm having some problems implementing it. Mainly, I cannot get the <sort-fileset> task to reference an existing fileset. For example: default.build: <fileset id="deltas"> <include name="*.*.sql" /> </fileset> <sort-fileset fileset="deltas"/> SortFilesetTask.cs: [TaskName("sort-fileset")] public class SortFilesetTask : Task { private FileSet _fileset; [BuildElement("fileset")] public FileSet SortFileset { get { return _fileset; } set { _fileset = value; } } protected override void ExecuteTask() { foreach (string fileName in _fileset.FileNames) { Console.WriteLine(fileName); } } } This results in the following output: Unexpected attribute "fileset" on element <sort-fileset>. However, I can do this: default.build: <sort-fileset> <fileset id="deltas"> <include name="*.*.sql" /> </fileset> </sort-fileset> But obviously, this keeps the fileset inside the task. What am I missing here?
