First, your DLL has to be named "somenameTasks.dll" To use it, you have to either:
1. place the *.dll containing the task in nant/bin directory 2. place the *.dll somewhere else and add the path to nant.exe.config:/configuration/nant/@taskpath by default, it's set to ".\optional" which means that the tasks are loaded from "optional" under current directory. you may specify multiple paths (both absolute and relative) by separating them with semicolons. 3. load the task manually by using <loadtasks> task. <loadtasks assembly="foo.dll" /> Note that in this case the dll name doesn't have to end with "Tasks", but it's a good idea to follow this as a rule too.
