Remarks

Tasks are added to the tool according to a task provider's policy. You can implement this abstract class to provide Task objects to a particular tool or tools. Tasks can be added to the Tasks property. Implement the IsToolSupported method to indicate if a particular tool is supported by your implementation of TaskProvider.
