I am developing a simple application using dotnet Core (for API) and Angular2 to learn both.
I created a project using Yeoman on the command line , and was happily encoded in Visual Studio Code (on Windows). Everything seems to fit well, and it was a pleasant experience.
It seemed to me that I could try Visual Studio 2017 and see what experience developing a dotnet Core project in VS looks like for a while.
However, having installed VS2017 and cloned a project from github, I am not sure how to do this. I do not see any way to restore / build / start the project.
After cloning the repo, I see that my project appears in the solution explorer with the visible project.json file. However, Debug | The start is highlighted in gray. I read somewhere about VS2017, which needs to convert project.json to the new (old?) XML format, and also I have the feeling that I am missing a .sln file.
I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
