How to “add REST API Reference” in a VB.net class library in VS2017? the right-click option doesn't...
I'm trying to add a REST API reference to a vb.net class library application. The option that I'm used to do ("right-click--> Add--> Rest API Client") simply doesn't appear on vb.net class libraries.
How can I do that?
I expect to be able to consume a REST API from my vb.net code without having to write all the references by hand.

I Didn't find a way to use the shortcut "right-click--> Add--> Rest API Client" in VS2017 when dealing w/ VB.Net class library/ Windows Form projects types.
The solution was to add a C# class library project, to be able to add the Rest API reference via Project's context menu. Then it was just to reference the new created C# project (containing the API ref) in the main Project (VB.Net).
