I've written a custom task, put the compiled DLL in the same directory as nant.exe, named it XXXTasks.dll, and my public class inherits from task and has the TaskNameAttribute.
But when I attempt to use it, I get the following:
[Core.TypeFactory:Error loading Elements from Allstate.AllCorp.CustomNantTasks,Version=1.0.1537.25977, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null(d:\allcorp\tools\bin\allstate.allcorp.customnanttasks.dll). - [] <>]
Exception: System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException
Message: One or more of the types in the assembly unable to load.
