Once you convert a WebAii test into code (i.e. you select MSTest after clicking "Convert all steps to code") you have a Microsoft coded unit test. Please follow these MSDN instructions for how to run a Microsoft Unit Test.

My apologies. I misread your original question and gave incorrect information.
The purpose of the Export feature is to create a Visual Studio project that you can then load into Visual Studio and work it in the Visual Studio IDE. You need WebUI Developer Edition installed before you can load and work with the exported Visual Studio project.
When you Export a test project to Visual Studio from the QA edition, it creates a Visual Studio .csproj file. You can double click on this file to load the test project into Visual Studio. In addition, at the end of the Export operation you are prompted by the QA Edition if you want to launch Visual Studio and load the freshly exported test project. If you click Yes, Visual Studio will start and load the project in its IDE. The QA edition will remain running after starting Visual Studio.
BTW, you do not need to Export the test project from the QA edition in order to execute tests from the command line, if that's all you're trying to do.

Why do you need to run your tests in Visual Studio? Would simply running them from the command line meet your needs? You can use our ArtOfTest.Runner command line utility that comes with the QA Edition to run tests from the command line. See the documentation here and here for instructions how to do that.
To be able to run .aii tests within Visual Studio you must first install WebUI Test Studio Developer Edition.

P.S. I see that demo tests e.g. CodedTest contains only .aii and .resx files but do not contains .aii.cs with C# code.
Adding one of your tests from your test project in QA edition to a demo test is one way of doing it. It's not what I would do. I would use the Export to Visual Studio function in the QA edition to create a new Visual Studio project then open that newly created project in Visual Studio. This will carry all of your existing tests into your new Visual Studio project and not depend on an existing demo test.
The CodedTest sample does contain two coded steps and a .cs file along with it. If you're not seeing this then something isn't right with the installation.
Just to be certain, you do understand running tests in Visual Studio is no different than running tests in QA Edition. The tests run the same and you get the same results either way. I don't see any advantage to converting your test project to Visual Studio and then running them in Visual Studio when you already have something working in QA edition.
