MSBuild Community Tasks Documentation

Is it just me or is the documentation on this project really scarce?

I'm trying to find how to use the FtpCreateRemoteDirectory and FTP functionality in general, but can't seem to find anything.

Googling FtpCreateRemoteDirectory, only shows the project's source code...

The documentation is sublime, but missing completely. However, the code is really easy to read - at least for finding out available tasks and their inputs/outputs.

The way I do it:

  1. Install a .NET decompiler like Jetbrains dotPeek (or some other .NET Reflector free clone).

  2. PM> Install-Package MSBuildTasks (from VS) OR
    > nuget install MSBuildTasks (from cmd line)

  3. Open slnDir\.build\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.dll in the above mentioned dotPeek, navigate to namespace MSBuild.Community.Tasks and double-click the task you're interested in.

  4. Profit!
