# Issue Title
How to find Dotnet core sdk/runtime 2.1 find latest version for vs 2017 via a script
# General
- From https://dotnetcli.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet/release-metadata/2.1/releases.json, I can see that some versions have _vs-version_ tag set while some others have the _vs-mac-support_ tag set. Can we use any of these tags to find out which version corresponds to vs 2017, so that we can sort them and find the highest patch version to get the latest one?
- If any of these tags are missing, does it mean it is not for vs 2017?
- currently, the latest series is 5xx for vs 2017. How are these versions determined? Will there be any 6xx ,8xx or 9xx versions for vs 2017?
- For dotnet core 3 and 5, I do not see any version with these tags. Does it mean that it supports only vs 2019?
I could not find the answers for these questions in the documentation, so created the issue. Any references would be helpful. Thanks
