I was told Visual studio would not work for Ubuntu. However, after searching to see if I can get notepad++ to work on a new install of Ubuntu 12.04 I found something called wine. After some more reading I am under the impression wine is a windows installer for Ubuntu? Can someone verify this? I am also to presume that I could install Visual Studio on Ubuntu via wine?

It's not really a Windows Installer.. it's a compatibility layer. It is true that you can install Windows software on Ubuntu through Wine, but results may vary.

WineHQ has a database of apps that may or may not work.

Here is the entry for Visual Studio..http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=892

Unfortunately, most versions get a 'garbage' rating, meaning that they won't work at all.

Similar questions have been asked a few times before here:

The bottom line, is that it's going to be very difficult to get Visual Studio working on Ubuntu. Which .Net language are you trying to use?

If you want to use C#, there are alternative IDEs for that. You will have a much easier time getting the MonoDevelop IDE to install properly (vs. Visual Studio) and that will allow you to write C# applications on Ubuntu.
