Visual Studio - Publish Automation

I maintain a Winform app deployed to the desktop via ClickOnce. Currently I use Visual Studio Publish wizard to make a new version available. I would like to automate this step, ideally via an MSBuild script. Is this possible?

When you invoke msbuild /target:publish at the command line, it tells the MSBuild system to build the project and create a ClickOnce application in the publish folder. This is equivalent to selecting the Publish command in the IDE.

This comes from the MSDN documentation for MSBuild
