Remarks

Set by the constructor. This is not necessarily the same as the tools version on the Project tag, if any; it may have been externally specified, for example with a /tv switch on the command line. The actual tools version on the Project tag can be obtained from Xml. The tools version cannot be changed once the project has been created.
