Remarks
If the Toolset version is overridden, that value becomes the effective Toolset version. If there is a ToolsVersion attribute on the Project element, then that is the effective Toolset version. Otherwise, the Toolset version is the same as the default Toolset version of the parent engine. When set, ToolsVersion overrides the current Toolset version of the project with the provided value.

To get or set the ToolsVersion attribute on the Project element, use the DefaultToolsVersion property.
