Examples

Examples of how to specify task attributes

 // task XmlType default is string
 [TaskAttribute("out", Required=true)]
 string _out = null; // assign default value here

 [TaskAttribute("optimize")]
 [BooleanValidator()]
 // during ExecuteTask you can safely use Convert.ToBoolean(_optimize)
 string _optimize = Boolean.FalseString;

 [TaskAttribute("warnlevel")]
 [Int32Validator(0,4)] // limit values to 0-4
 // during ExecuteTask you can safely use Convert.ToInt32(_optimize)
 string _warnlevel = "0";

 [BuildElement("sources")]
 FileSet _sources = new FileSet();

NOTE: Attribute values must be of type of string if you want to be able to have macros. The field stores the exact value during Initialize. Just before ExecuteTask is called NAnt will expand all the macros with the current values.
