Is it possible to extract values from itemgroups in TFSBuild.proj during a build

Question

I want to extract values defined in an item group collection of TFSBuild.proj file in a C# application during a build . Can someone give me an idea as to how this can be done.

Answer 1

"Extract" is a weird word to use here. If you're wanting to combine C# with MSBuild, you generally do that by creating an MSBuild Task. Tasks take inputs, which can be ItemGroups and they do stuff with the items in the group.

Answer 2

Looks like this exact question was posted twice, fyi.
