MSBuild executes the OnError element if one of the Target element's tasks fails with the ContinueOnError attribute set to false. When the task fails, the targets specified in the ExecuteTargets attribute is executed. If there is more than one OnError element in the target, the OnError elements are executed sequentially when the task fails. For more information, see MSBuild Targets.
The following code executes the TaskOne and TaskTwo tasks. If TaskOne fails, MSBuild evaluates the OnError element and executes the OtherTarget target.
