Use Visual Studio 2017 with .Net Core SDK 2.0

Question

Can i open a core 2.0 project in Visual Studio 2017?

I've installed the latest dotnet-core (2.0.0-preview2-005840) and created a core 2.0 console-app.

mkdir dn2cli
cd dn2cli
dotnet new console
dotnet restore

Open console.csproj in Visual Studio 2017 with "open project"
Clean and Build Solutions
i get several erros
- amongs others:

Unable to resolve 'Microsoft.NETCore.App (>= 2.0.0)' for '.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.0'.

So. Is it just not supported at the moment or am i missing something?

c:\Temp>dotnet --info

Update:

There is now a VS 2017 15.3 preview that resolves this issue. Starting with VS 15.3, Visual Studio carries an MSBuild SDK resolver that determines which version of the CLI SDK a project would use (e.g. if a global.json sets the version) and uses it's MSBuild targets so new previews are picked up by VS.

Original:

You can modify your environment to get VS 2017 support for the unreleased 2.0 tooling by setting the MSBuildSdksPath as described in https://github.com/aspnet/Announcements/issues/231 so that VS picks up the build logic from the CLI.
