    Hi Devs, can we develop windows application using VStudio on mac ? I don't want any sort of VMWARE FUSION installed as well. I want to download VStudio for MAC and be able to run .exe or something similar on mac. But question is - if there is any mac version of visual studio ?? If there is mac version of sql server ?? IIS to run locally for testing etc etc ? Cheers

    As per my knowledge, it is not possible. So it is No.

      Maybe you can use something like TeamViewer: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx[^]

        MonoDevelop[^] runs on OSX. Mono supports ASP.net. it comes with xsp4 for quick testing or you can use mod-mono for hosting in Apache. You'll need to use a different database. MySql is a popular one that is open source and runs on OSX.

                Just to remind you of his questions: if there is any mac version of visual studio ?? If there is mac version of sql server ?? IIS to run locally for testing etc etc ? Mono is not an answer to any of them.

                        If I had a Mac, I'd use a virtual machine, though it seems you don't want to do that for some reason. There is no version of Visual Studio for Mac OS. Though, like others have mentioned, there is MonoDevelop. I haven't used it, but that seems like your best (and probably only) option for natively running a .Net IDE on a Mac. I'm not sure about SQL Server or IIS. Maybe use SQL Server CE for development?

                          Not that I'm aware. I use Win7 64bit, VS2010 and SQL2008R2 on the new MacBook Air using Bootcamp and it works a treat. This is not using virtualisation so the performance is very good. And the beauty is you can easily boot into either OS for your tool of choice :)

                            MonoDevelop on both Mac and Windows sure feels a lot like Visual Studio Lite; don't it?

                              Cut an Apple symbol and stick it on a Windows PC so it runs all the things you want to run and looked the way you wanted as well.

Though, like others have mentioned, there is MonoDevelop. I haven't used it, but that seems like your best (and probably only) option for natively running a .Net IDE on a Mac. I'm not sure about SQL Server or IIS. Maybe use SQL Server CE for development?

                                        You can also use Real Basic which is cross platform for windows,mac, and linux. Its syntax is quite similar to .net so it should be no problem to pickup. I currently us it along with visual studio. Bill Eisenman

                                          Hi Devs, can we develop windows application using VStudio on mac ? I don't want any sort of VMWARE FUSION installed as well. I want to download VStudio for MAC and be able to run .exe or something similar on mac. But question is - if there is any mac version of visual studio ?? If there is mac version of sql server ?? IIS to run locally for testing etc etc ? Cheers

                                          You could always install Windows on your mac with Bootcamp.
