Creazione di target MSBuild personalizzati

<PropertyGroup>
     <!-- Definition of a Property named "TestCondition". A PropertyGroup may also be placed inside a Target. -->
    <TestCondition>True</TestCondition>
</PropertyGroup>

<!-- This Target will run after the "Clean" Target, subject to a Condition. -->
<Target Name="SpecificTarget" AfterTargets="Clean" Condition=" '$(TestCondition)' == 'True' ">
    <!-- Displaying a custom message -->
    <Message Text="Here is my Specific Target" Importance="Low" />
    <!-- Here come your specific code. -->
</Target>

<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" DefaultTargets="SayHello">  

    <!-- Properties can be passed as command line parameters. i.e. /p:Name=MyName 
    or /p:Name="My Name" (Use quotes if the value includes spaces) -->  
    <PropertyGroup>
        <Name Condition="'$(Name)'==''">Rolo</Name>
    </PropertyGroup>  

    <!-- Items can't be passed as command line parameters. -->   
    <!-- Items can include metadata. i.e. URL -->  
    <ItemGroup>  
        <People Include="World"/>  
        <People Include="StackOverflow">

        </People>

        <!-- Tasks can be executed conditionally. -->  
        <Message Condition="'%(People.URL)'==''" Text="Hello %(People.Identity), my name is $(Name)! "/>
