title: How to Open .NET Core CLI Project in Visual Studio 2017
body: <p>For one of my classes this semester, I am required to use .NET Core 1.1 and version 1.0.0-preview2-003177 of the CLI tools. How can I open such a project in Visual Studio 2017? I have found solutions that work for 1.0.0-preview4-004233, but I am not allowed to upgrade my project to the newer version due to my professor's requirements.</p>
