title: How to open dotnet-core CLI project in Visual Studio 2017
body: <p>I have been developing a simple application using dotnet Core (for an API) and Angular2 for the purpose of learning both. </p>
  
  <p><strong>I created the project using Yeoman on the command line</strong> and have been happily coding away in Visual Studio Code (on Windows). All seems to hang together well and it's been an enjoyable experience. </p>
  
  <p>I thought I might try out Visual Studio 2017 and see what the experience of developing a dotnet Core project in VS is like for a while. </p>
  
  <p><strong>However, having installed VS2017 and cloned the project from github I am unsure how to proceed. I can't see any way to restore/build/run the project.</strong> </p>
  
  <p>After cloning the repo, I see my project displayed in the Solution Explorer with the project.json file visible. However, Debug | Start is greyed out. I read somewhere about VS2017 needing to convert project.json to the new (old?) XML format and also I have a feeling I am missing a .sln file. </p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. </p>
