Invokes the specified targets within the project file.
Task Parameters
The following table describes the parameters of the CallTarget task.
| Parameter | Description |

Optional Boolean output parameter. If true, the MSBuild engine is called once per target. If false, the MSBuild engine is called once to build all targets. |
TargetOutputs |
Optional ITaskItem[] output parameter. Contains the outputs of all built targets. |
Targets |
