When I open or create a project in Visual Studio C# 2010 Express I get this error:
Cannot evaluate the property expression "$([MSBuild]::ValueOrDefault('$(VCTargetsPath)','$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\'))" found at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\12.0@VCTargetsPath". Invalid static method invocation syntax: "[MSBuild]::ValueOrDefault('$(VCTargetsPath)','$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\')". Method '[MSBuild]]::ValueOrDefault' not found. Static method invocations should be of the form: §([FullTypeName]::Method()), e.g. $([System.IO.Path]::Combine(a, b)).
I had the same issue when I had previously installed VS2013 and then uninstalled. This happens because VS2013 uninstaller forgets one of its registry keys, which causes this error when you start to work with VS2010 again.
Delete if there is a key with 12.0 in this location.
