Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 for mac OS X Finally there is some Mac related Visual Studio new worth blogging about, or so I thought. Earlier this week I was reading through the Software Developer Times Newspaper, when I came across the following article by 'I.B. Phoolen' regarding Micrsosoft Visual Studio 2010 for mac OS X. If you’re visual studio programmer, you can download free visual studio 2010 beta version to use it now and get an early glimpse of the final version of the visual studio product. As visual studio 2010 is the upcoming windows programming editor to replace Visual studio 2008. Visual Studio Code is a code editor redefined and optimized for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications. Visual Studio Code is free and available on your favorite platform - Linux, macOS, and Windows. Microsoft's Visual Studio 2010 Professional is an integrated solution for developing, debugging, and deploying all kinds of applications. It takes up several gigabytes and costs $799, but you can. I don't think VS 2010 works for Mac. You can look at this link What's New in Visual Studio for Mac| Visual Studio Going forward I suggest you to use a search engine instead of Quora for quick results and you can be more productive.

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.
