My team uses .Net and I need to work them though I would like to do it from my Mac. Is VS Code useful or should I use online Visual Studio? What's the best way to work with fellow .Net developers on my Mac.
Before Microsoft ships a full VS in OS X, you will have to run a desktop virtualization stack such as VMware Fusion to run Windows VM there or use Bootcamp to dual boot.
Visual Studio Code or Xamarin Studio might help in a few cases, but none of them claims to replace VS.

I have been a seasoned .Net + Azure developer with master over all short-cuts & popular extensions available. I use Visual Studio even for Node Js development. I am trying to make a switch to MAC which seems impossible :-(
Quite surprised that even basic options like Open WebSite has been
missing in Visual Studio For MAC.
Has any of expert community member here, tried switching to VS for MAC and
found a way to open website written in Angular or React?
As Microsoft's website states, Visual Studio for Mac is a completely new IDE which needs a lot of development before you should use it for your real projects.
I would highly recommend to run a virtual Windows machine (or even Windows itself) on your Mac.
You could try though, to use Visual Studio Code with AngularJS on your Mac.
Edit 08.03.2018: by now Microsoft has done a lot for Visual Studio Mac. What you want will probably work.
Today is 2020 dec, I still cannot find the website feature in vs Mac. But it's reasonable because .net based website is run in Windows server. It doesn’t make sense to build in mac but execute in windows.
I was wondering if Microsoft has Visual Studio available for MAC?
If yes, where can I get it?
If you are looking for full fledged Visual Studio IDE for Mac, it is not possible for now. But you may try Visual Studio Code, which is not really there yet. Else, worst case scenario is that you use Bootcamp or Parallels Desktop to have a Windows VM followed by installation of Visual Studio.
As far as I am aware, Visual Studio is not available on OS X. Apple offers its own free IDE, however, called Xcode. You can download it for free, though you may need to register with the Apple developer network (at no cost). I'm not much of a fanboy of either Microsoft or Apple, but if you want an IDE for developing for OS X (or iOS) then Xcode would be the most conventional choice.
I am trying to create test case in C# for the WDF drivers of Smartcard devices. but i could not find the Windows driver > Windows Driver Test template under installed Visual C#. I am using the Visual Studio 2013 for Windows Desktop. i could not even find the Windows Driver Test in online template. Any other package i need to install?
You might be running into problems because of the version of Visual Studio that you're running: VS 2013 for Windows Desktop is essentially an "Express" edition of VS put together to provide developers with a basic IDE for building Windows desktop apps for free. The Express SKU's of VS were, however, limited in their functionality and do not support add-ons and additional SDK's, project templates and/or tooling such as WDK. For that you'll likely need a Pro edition of VS.
Note: Microsoft has recently released Visual Studio Community Edition which is a full release of VS Pro, including add-ons and extensibility, but free for non-commercial use and/or dev teams of up to 5 people. If you meet these licensing requirements, then you may have more luck using VS Community Release than VS for Windows Desktop.
I'm trying to set up some new developers to make apps for the Okuma control using the Okuma API and SDK. What environment should they use? I tried installing Visual Studio Express 2012 but it keeps giving an error looking for files during install. Also, what language should they use so they can work with the Okuma API?
The Okuma API is written using .NET 4.0 so you really have several options.
Normally I'd say Visual Studio express 2012 for desktop is best but I've seen problems putting it on Windows XP.
If you're using windows XP and aren't ready to invest in a full version of Visual Studio yet, I'd recommend Visual C# Express 2010. If you're more familiar with VB and don't want to switch, do the VB express verison.
All these (and the professional version) are available from

VS 2019 community edition is currently working fine for me doing this. I just have to choose which .net framework in the project settings. That was not listed in the prior answer in case anyone comes across this in the future.
I want to install Visual Studio on macOS. Is this possible?
Yes! You can use the new Visual Studio for Mac, which Microsoft launched in November.

I recently purchased a MacBook Air (mid-2011 model) and was really happy to find that Apple officially supports Windows 7. If you purchase Windows 7 (I got DSP), you can use the Boot Camp assistant in OSX to designate part of your hard drive to Windows. Then you can install and run Windows 7 natively as if it were as Windows notebook.
I use Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 on my MacBook Air (I kept OSX as well) and I could not be happier. Heck, the initial start-up of the program only takes 3 seconds thanks to the SSD.
As others have mentions, you can run it on OSX using Parallels, etc. but I prefer to run it natively.
I guess you can install it via Parallel or in any other Virtual machine with windows in it
No. Neither Visual Studio or the .NET framework will run on Mac OSX (although the latter is changing). However, if you want to write an application in a similar framework, you could use Mono and MonoDevelop.
There is no native version of Visual Studio for Mac OS X.
Almost all versions of Visual Studio have a Garbage rating on Wine's application database, so Wine isn't an option either, sadly.
While Parallels is technically a VM it is capable of running games in high resolution at a high frame rate. If you run Parallels in Coherence mode it completely integrates Windows 7 into OS X and .Net framework is fully supported. So yes you can install Visual Studio on your Mac however the Apps you created would only run of windows computers unless they were web based.
Yes, you can! There's a Visual Studio for macs and there's Visual Studio Code if you only need a text editor like Sublime Text.
Current Visual Studio versions (2019, 2022) are targeted specifically for Mac as well.
I found Microsoft’s Visual Studio for Mac getting complete overhaul with native UI and more pretty enligthing
