Visual Studio For Mac Tutorials

Visual Studio via Remote Desktop - I have a laptop running Windows/Visual Studio with a static IP and use the Microsoft Remote Desktop client to connect from my Mac. This has the advantage of minimal overhead on the Mac, so is more responsive than a VM. Tutorial: Get Started with Xamarin in Visual Studio. You can build Xamarin projects on Windows (using Visual Studio), or Mac/Linux (using Xamarin Studio). I’m excited to dig into Xamarin because mobile apps need authentication and authorization, which Stormpath makes easy.

I have spent countless hours trying to figure this out, but I just can't seem to. I hope you have the patience to read my problems and help me fix them.Here we go. I am taking a Visual Basic course online for my school. Since our school has no PC and just Macs, I am running into a few issues. Our teacher wants us to use Visual Studio, which I have downloaded for Mac. We were told to create a project using visual basic. I followed the instructor and attempted to do what he did. I open Visual Studio, create a new project, select the code to be VB (not C# or anything else) and prepare to start coding. I start to type and I am not able to as a pop up box says 'No completions found'. All I want to do is just make my code in a .vb file (which is the format the teacher wants... will they accept a vb.NET file, idk what that is) and be able to run it in Visual Studio. But nothing is working out for me. All the tutorials online show how to create projects in Mac and run them, but for C#. I did research and it said to download Mono, and I did, but I don't know what to do with it. If anyone can please help, I will be fulfilled with tremendous gratitude. Thank you.

VB.NET is not the first batch of languages to be supported on VS Code. You should use C# or F# instead.

These are supported programming languages for Visual Studio Code at the moment :JavaScript, JSON, HTML, CSS, Sass, Less, TypeScript, Markdown, PHP, Python, Go, Dockerfile, T-SQL, C#, C++

Thank you.

You can use another program called Rider from Jetbrains. You are a student so you can use Rider for free.

You can choose for Library projects and console app projects, but that is for a start more than enough.

Introduction

This post is not describing how to run Visual Studio Code on the Pi. This post shows you how to create a network share on your Pi where your scripts reside so that you can edit them from your computer (this post is aimed at Mac users, go here to setup visual studio code for Windows).

Setup

The first thing you want to do, is ensure that you have Visual Studio Code installed on your Mac. You can install plugins you require specifically, but I recommend this Python plugin as Python is usually the goto language with Pi development.
First, update the packages that are installed on the Pi by entering the following in the terminal:

Creating the Network Share

To allow our Mac to see a network share on the Pi, we must first install Netatalk., To do this, we simply use the Raspbian package manager “apt-get”. Here is the command to install Netatalk

apt-get will start installing Netatalk upon pressing enter.

Note: You may need to press “Y” when it asks you to confirm the install.

Surprisingly, that is all there is to creating a network share on the Pi (for Mac). Some users may want to reboot their Pi at this point, although it isn’t strictly necessary. If you would like to check that you can access the Pis files, open up Finder and go to your network locations.

You should see a computer with the name “raspberrypi” (or whatever you have called your Pi, if you had changed it’s name using raspi-config).

Upon double clicking the raspberrypi computer, you will need to click “connect as” in the top right corner of the Finder window.

This will bring up a prompt for a username and password. This is basically the user you wish to log in as. Assuming default settings, this is usually “pi” and “raspberry” as the username and password respectively.

Upon logging in, you will see the home directory of the user you are logged in as.

Using Visual Studio Code

Now that we have Visual Studio Code installed on our Mac, and have access to the Pis home directory (where we save our scripts) we can start to edit our code!
Simply drag a file from the Raspberry Pi network share into Visual Studio Code. Any changes you make and save will be updated on the Pi itself.
Alternatively, you can open a folder from within Visual Studio code by clicking “file -> open folder” and navigating to the folder on the Pi that you want to open.
Happy Intellisense!
