MSBuild Community Tasks Documentation [closed]

Answer 1

The documentation is like you say really scarce. The best I found is to download the latest source code here : https://github.com/loresoft/msbuildtasks

The latest documentation can also be viewed via GitHub directly without downloading the source: https://github.com/loresoft/msbuildtasks/tree/master/Documentation

If installed using the MSI, you can also look at the XSD found in the installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.xsd) to at least see which tasks are avaialable to you and the documentation connected with them.

Answer 2

The latest releases on Github do not include documentation (issue #24).

Older releases on Tigris do include documentation in the form of a CHM file: After installing MSBuild.Community.Tasks.msi from the project download page, the documentation is in the installation folder. The typical path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.chm".
