Output all files from the MSBuild task solution

Question

In MSBuild, I would like to call a task that retrieves all the files in the entire project in a specific solution and holds these files in a property that can be transferred to other tasks (for processing, etc.).

I thought something like:

<ParseSolutionFile SolutionFile="$(TheSolutionFile)">
  <Output TaskParameter="FilesFound" ItemName="AllFilesInSolution"/>
</ParseSolutionFile>

<Message Text="Found $(AllFilesInSolution)" />

which lists all the files in the projects in the solution, and I could use the AllFilesInSolution property as input for other analysis tasks. Is this an existing task or do I need to create one myself? If I need to create it myself, should the task output an array of strings or ITaskItems or something else?
