The imported project “C:\Microsoft.CSharp.targets”

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

For errors with Microsoft.WebApplications.targets, you can:

1. Install Visual Studio 2010 (or the same version as in development machine) in your TFS server.
2. Copy the “Microsoft.WebApplication.targets” from development machine file to TFS build machine.

Here's the post.

Answer 2

I used to have this following line in the csproj file:

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />

After deleting this file, it works fine.
