<assemblyfileset>
    [This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
     Specialized <fileset> class for managing assembly files. 
     If an include pattern does not contain any wildcard characters then the assembly will be searched for in following locations (in the order listed): 
    
      -  The base directory of the fileset. 
-  The directories specified using the nested <lib> element. 
-  The list of reference assemblies of the current target framework. 
 The reference assemblies of a given target framework are defined using <reference-assemblies> filesets in the <framework> node of the NAnt configuration file. 
    Parameters
    
      
        
          | Attribute | Type | Description | Required | 
        
          | basedir | directory | The base of the directory of this fileset. The default is the project base directory. | False | 
        
          | casesensitive | bool | Indicates whether include and exclude patterns must be treated in a case-sensitive way. The default is true on Unix; otherwise, false. | False | 
        
          | defaultexcludes | bool | Indicates whether default excludes should be used or not. The default is true. | False | 
        
          | failonempty | bool | When set to true, causes the fileset element to throw a ValidationException when no files match the includes and excludes criteria. The default is false. | False | 
        
          | id | string | The ID used to be referenced later. | False | 
        
          | refid | string | The ID to use as the reference. | False | 
      
     
    Nested Elements:
    
    
      
      
                    <lib>
                
     Additional directories to search in for assembly references. 
 A specialized <fileset> used for setting the lib directories. 
 The primary reason for this class is to allow the 
BaseDirectory to always be the same value as the parent

Examples
    
      - 
         Define a reference with name "sys.assemblies", holding a set of system assemblies.  
<assemblyfileset id="sys.assemblies">
    <include name="System.dll" />
    <include name="System.Data.dll" />
    <include name="System.Xml.dll" />
</assemblyfileset>
     Use the predefined set of assemblies to compile a C# assembly.  
<csc target="exe" output="HelloWorld.exe">
    <sources>
        <include name="**/*.cs" />
    </sources>
    <references refid="sys.assemblies" />
</csc>
    
- 
         Compile a C# assembly using assembly references that are searched for in the "Third Party Assemblies" and "Company Assemblies" directories.  
<csc target="exe" output="HelloWorld.exe">
    <sources>
        <include name="**/*.cs" />
    </sources>
    <references>
        <lib>
            <include name="Third Party Assemblies" />
            <include name="Company Assemblies" />
        </lib>
        <include name="log4net.dll" />
        <include name="Company.Business.dll" />
    </references>
