: The imported project Microsoft.TextTemplating.targets" was not found

 When building Visual studio you might encounter the error MSB4019: The imported project Microsoft.TextTemplating.targets" was not found.

To fix this error

• Open the csproj in editor
• Find following 

        <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v16.0\TextTemplating\Microsoft.TextTemplating.targets" />

• Change it to following and save

"$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\TextTemplating\Microsoft.TextTemplating.targets"

• Reload the project and build
