MSBuild Error MSB4062: Could not loaded from the assembly when UsingTask with AssemblyName property

I got a simple task:

namespace MyLibs
{
    public class MyTask : Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Task
    {
        public override bool Execute()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Task");
            return true;
        }
    }
}

Then I tried to use them in .csproj. It's simple as well:

<Project>

    .....

    <UsingTask TaskName="$(AssemblyName).MyTask" AssemblyName="$(AssemblyName)"/>
    <Target Name="PostBuild2" AfterTargets="PostBuildEvent">
        <MyTask/>
    </Target>
</Project>

When I built, I got this:

C:\Code\ConsoleTest\MyLibs\MyLibs.csproj(164,9): error MSB4062: The "MyLibs.MyTask" task could not be loaded from the assembly MyLibs. Could not load file or assembly 'MyLibs, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The system cannot find the file specified. C onfirm that the declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.

Then tried to use AssemblyFile instead:

namespace MyLibs
{
    public class MyTask1 : Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Task
    {
        public override bool Execute()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Task1");
            return true;
        }
    }
    public class MyTask2 : Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Task
    {
        public override bool Execute()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Task2");
            return true;
        }
    }
}

<Project>

    .....

    <UsingTask TaskName="$(AssemblyName).MyTask1" AssemblyFile="$(TargetPath)"/>
    <Target Name="PostBuild1" AfterTargets="PostBuildEvent">
        <MyTask1/>
    </Target>

    <UsingTask TaskName="$(AssemblyName).MyTask2" AssemblyName="$(AssemblyName)"/>
    <Target Name="PostBuild2" AfterTargets="PostBuild1">
        <MyTask2/>
    </Target>
</Project>

Looking at the result of the build, AssemblyFile works, but AssemblyName still doesn't work. How does UsingTask work with AssemblyName?

Task1

C:\Code\ConsoleTest\MyLibs\MyLibs.csproj(169,9): error MSB4062: The "MyLibs.MyTask2" task could not be loaded from the assembly MyLibs. Could not load file or assembly 'MyLibs, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The system cannot find the file specified. C onfirm that the declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.
