I have Ubuntu installed on my system. Now I have a project to do using Visual Studio in C#.
I want to know whether I can install Windows inside a Virtual Box and then install Visual Studio. Will I be able to develop Csharp application in a virtual environment? Will the Virtual Box support the running of Visual Studio software?
Thanks in advance.
Sure. I've done this.
You can install a Windows vm in VirtualBox.
Using Visual Studio doesn't depend on whether your Windows is a virtual machine or not.

Let's say my physical Environment is a Mac computer with Windows 10 installed using Bootcamp and also the same Windows 10 running on a Virtual Machine. (I think this is possible with some VM software)
With Visual Studio 2017 running under Windows is it possible to connect to MacOS to compile iOS part of the apps? How?
I think I cannot develop Windows Apps using Visual Studio 2017 for Mac so that option is out of question.
Thank you for your help.
Check out the setup and installation documentation. Basically you need to install Visual Studio for Mac on your Mac and Visual Studio 2017 in your virtual machine.
You then need to connect via the build agent (Visual Studio will show you how). This can all be done on the same machine if you are using a Mac.

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 like have a local virtual machine running on my laptop (Hyper-v) as my development environment. Having Visual Studio installed in the virtual machine.
Everything has been working great.
Now I have to develop WP8.1 apps, and ofcourse the WP emulator does not work inside of the VM.
But I was hoping to deploy Wp8.1 apps directly on a Windows Phone connect by USB.
This would work if Visual Studio was installed directly on the laptop and not in a VM.
Have anyone been able to do this? Or am I the only one having my development environment hosted in a virtual machine and therefor having these problems? :)
I've discovered that this allows for USB Redirection / RemoteFX (GPEDIT.msc), so I can now use my device in Visual Studio in my virtual machine.
I have read a number of blogs talking about this VMware Visual Studio Plugin that supposedly has been out since VS 2005. But I can't find a single reference to how to install, activate, enable....etc.
I am using VS2010, but have also looked in 2008. I am new to VS to begin.
From their installation manual:
If Visual Studio is already installed on your host, the VMware Workstation installer should also install the
Integrated Virtual Debugger.
If you install Workstation after you install Visual Studio, you can choose custom install to verify that
Integrated Virtual Debuggers > Visual Studio PlugIn is selected.
If you install Visual Studio after you install Workstation, run the Workstation installer again.
a In the program maintenance dialog box, select Modify/Change.
b To install, click Integrated Virtual Debuggers > Visual Studio PlugIn and proceed.

Can we install visual studio in external harddisk?
pls clarrfy this..
thanks in advance.
You can install it to an external hard drive, but it will only work on the computer you installed it on.
Visual studio cannot be run as a "mobile" application.
Your only option to do this is to setup a virtual machine and install VS on that. You still have to make sure you can run the VM on the computer you connect the drive to.
