The in/out property value.

Attributes
OutputAttribute TargetedPatchingOptOutAttribute

Remarks

So ... why is this a string[] instead of a string? Basically if the project author passed in:

CreateProperty Value="Clean;Build" Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="MyTargetsToBuild" /CreateProperty

We need to respect the semicolon that they put in the value, and need to treat this exactly as if they had done:

PropertyGroup MyTargetsToBuild="Clean;Build" /PropertyGroup

If we make this parameter a "string", then the engine will escape the value on the way out from the task back to the engine, creating a property that is set to "Clean%3BBuild", which is not what the user wanted.
