| Starting in .NET Framework version 4, you can create tasks inline in the project file. You do not have to create a separate assembly to host the task. This makes it easier to keep track of source code and easier to deploy the task. The source code is integrated into the script. | ||

| In MSBuild 15.8, the [RoslnCodeTaskFactory](../msbuild/msbuild-roslyncodetaskfactory.md) was added which can create .NET Standard cross-platform inline tasks. If you need to use inline tasks on .NET Core, you must use the RoslynCodeTaskFactory. |

Is it worth saying this is now the preferred way of doing inline tasks? Is it the new preferred way? :)

Its required for inline tasks on .NET Core but existing builds can just stick with CodeTaskFactory.

Jeff, can you make sure the articles use ms.topic: "conceptual" instead of "article", and that "douge" is listed as the manager? Thanks.

@jeffkl Reading closer. Some are reference docs so ms.topic would be "reference"
|
@jeffkl Jeff, for the new topics we will need them in toc.yml before they can get through the approval process. Can you add them? Looks like the ref topics go here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/msbuild-task-reference |

Microsoft authors of technical articles need to add content and make updates through the private repository so the updates can be staged and validated by the current validation rules. Read about authors working in the public repo for more information. Would you submit your updates through the private repo and close this pull request? Thank you. |

@ktoliver I get a 404 when visiting the private repo and I'm assuming its a permissions issue. The doc you linked to has no mention of how to request access and I can't figure it out. How do I request access? |
