How to pass variable in a project file to the "MSBuild" task

Question

We are using a project file, which then calls MSBuild task. For example,

<Target Name="Clean">
  <MSBuild Targets="Clean" Projects="@(Solution)"/>
</Target>

In the project file I now define a variable which I want to pass to MSBuild task.

Found it myself: You can Pass Properties with: Properties="aa=true" — Jochen Kühner, May 28 '15 at 09:10
It might help to know that the elements with arbitrary names inside `Target` elements are called tasks. So, your question is about the _"MSBuild task"_. — Tom Blodget, May 30 '15 at 20:53

I found it out by myself! This works:

<Target Name="Clean">
  <MSBuild Targets="Clean" Projects="@(Solution)" Properties="Key=Value"/>
</Target>
