ExitCode Gets the value that the process specified when it terminated.
FailOnError (inherited from Task) Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.
IfDefined (inherited from Task) If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.
LogPrefix (inherited from Task)Obsolete. The prefix used when sending messages to the log.
