How do I perform a Clean before Building using Microsoft.Build.Evaluation (MSBuild)

Question

I am using the following code to build a project. I want to perform a Clean first (or just force a ReBuild I suppose?) - but I can't find any documentation stating how I do this:

    Private Shared _globalProp As Dictionary(Of String, String)
    Private Shared _logger As BuildLogger

    Dim thisProject As Project = Nothing
    Dim buildSuceeded As Boolean

    If _globalProp Is Nothing Then
        _globalProp = New Dictionary(Of String, String)
        _globalProp.Add("Configuration", "Release")
        _globalProp.Add("Platform", "x86")
    End If
    _logger = New BuildLogger

    thisProject = New Project(projectFilename, _globalProp, "14.0")
    buildSuceeded = thisProject.Build(_logger)

Credit to @JerryM for pointing in the right direction.

I couldn't seem to find an appropriate overload of the Build method that accepted the targets and a logger at the same time, so I am doing this in two steps for now, this seems to do what I want:

        thisProject = New Project(projectFilename, _globalProp, "14.0")

        Dim targets As String() = {"Clean"}
        cleanSucceeded = thisProject.Build(targets)

        buildSuceeded = thisProject.Build(_logger)
