c# - The imported project "C:Microsoft.CSharp.targets" was not found

Question

I got this error today when trying to open a Visual Studio 2008 project in Visual Studio 2005:

The imported project "C:Microsoft.CSharp.targets" was not found.

Answer 1

Open your csproj file in notepad (or notepad++) Find the line:

<Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />

and change it to

<Import Project="$(MSBuildBinPath)Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />
