`Evaluate`	Optional Boolean attribute. If `true`, MSBuild evaluates any inner elements, and expands items and properties before it passes the information to the `TaskFactory` when the task is instantiated.

Child elements

Element	Description
Data	The text between the `Task` tags is sent verbatim to the `TaskFactory`.

Parent elements

Element	Description
UsingTask	Provides a way to register tasks in MSBuild. There may be zero or more `UsingTask` elements in a project.

Example

       <ParameterGroup>
              <Parameter1 ParameterType="System.String" Required="False" Output="False"/>
              <Parameter2 ParameterType="System.Int" Required="True" Output="False"/>
              ...
