“Silverlight.CSharp.targets was not found” problem

When I was building up a new silverlight project based on existing silverlight 3d template, I met a problem that said ‘error  : Unable to read the project file ‘OverlappingTabs.cspro … C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\Silverlight\v4.0\Microsoft.Silverlight.CSharp.targets” was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.’

This problem happened because of the support of silverlight, as the visual studio 2010 did not have the required silverlight supporting files installed. To fix this problem, just setup ‘Microsoft® Silverlight® 5 Tools for Visual Studio® 2010 SP1‘.
