Visual Studio(.NET) on mac os x

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
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[^] 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.

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.

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.

You could try WineBottler[^], but i get the feeling that would be horribly messy. :doh: Works with mp3tag though ;P

The base requirement for those three applications is the Windows o/s. Somehow you need to have Windows on your Mac. You can either: 1) Install it in a virtual machine. VMWare is one brand, which you've rejected for some reason. Another one is VirtualBox. 2) Install it on your hard drive and boot to it instead of OS/X. What you can't do is run any of those applications in OS/X directly.

if there is any mac version of visual studio ?? No If there is mac version of sql server ?? No IIS to run locally for testing etc etc ? No there isn't a version of VS that runs on Mac, the closest is Mono. Or use a VM.
