C/C++ is NOT supported on Visual Studio for Mac.

• Hi GFaddoul, Welcome to the MSDN forum. The VS for Mac not support the C++ development, it defaults support development in C# and F#. Please check this doc: Introducing Visual Studio for Mac and Visual Studio for Mac is a modern, sophisticated IDE with many features for creating mobile, desktop, and web applications.
• I'm using my Mac most time at work. At home there's my Windows computer, where I program with Visual Studio my.NET/C# stuff. Because I want to program outside, it would be great to have an equivalent IDE for my Mac.
• Since it was released a little more than a year ago, Visual Studio 2017 for Mac has grown from being an IDE primarily focused on mobile application development using Xamarin to one that includes support for all major.NET cross-platform workloads including Xamarin, Unity, and.NET Core.

Open a codebase from any environment and get to work right away. Use MSBuild with the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler or a 3rd party toolset like CMake with Clang or mingw to build and debug your code right in the IDE. Benefit from a first-class CMake experience.

Visual Studio for Mac is not a direct port of Visual Studio for Windows. It's essentially an alpha-level rebranding (with a lot of work put into it but still) of another IDE called Xamarin Studio, itself essentially a rebranding of MonoDevelop. Visual Studio Crack is an IDE software. You can use it to make all kinds of Apps and software. It supports Mac OS as well as Windows.

Design and build classic Windows desktop programs or Universal Windows apps targeting HoloLens, Surface Hub, PC, and Xbox with the Microsoft Visual C++ toolset and the Visual Studio 2019.

Visual Studio UI Visual Studio set the IDE standard for most of the '90s. Although it has languished somewhat and some embarrassing UI defects remain in the Windows version, we can hope that Microsoft will deliver a fairly well-organized IDE for the Mac. The Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE) offers a set of tools that help you write and modify code, and also detect and correct errors. In the articles in this section of the documentation, you create a standard C++ program and test its functionality by using features in Visual Studio.

Enjoy support for C++11, C++14 and many C++17 features with market leading performance, build throughput and security. Write code using the power of generic lambda expressions, resumable functions, decltype (auto), extended constexpr and C++ attributes, fold expressions, noexcept in type system, inline variables and other modern features.

Take advantage of powerful coding and debugging tools to manage code targeting Linux built with GCC, Clang, or another compiler. Debug your Linux applications as they run remotely with GDB. Whether you are building IoT apps or high-performance computing cloud services for Linux, Visual Studio will help you be productive.

Leverage the power of Visual Studio 2019 and the debugger to build high-performance Android and/or iOS apps and games in C++, share C++ libraries to target both mobile platforms and Windows, or write once and run across all mobile platforms with Xamarin and C++.

Create high-performance games with DirectX to run on Windows devices, or build cross-platform games with a top game engine, such as Unity, Unreal, and Cocos. Join the many wildly-successful game studios that already use Visual Studio to boost your productivity with Visual Studio 2019 and the world-class debugger.

Do all the basics like setting breakpoints and stepping through your code, then get more advanced with variable visualization, performance profiling, debugging any local or remote process, and multi-threaded application debugging. Run to click, edit your live code and continue executing without having to rebuild.

Visualize your code with syntax colorization, guidelines, code tooltips, Class View, or Call Hierarchy. Navigate to any code symbol by reference, definition, declaration, and more. Autocomplete your code as you type, quickly repair problems, and refactor your code to your needs. Analyze your code for common issues. Save time that could be better spent.

Microsoft recently released Visual Studio Code and I am a little confused about its usage, since Visual Studio has lot of similarities functionally with it.

Visual Studio (full version) is a 'full-featured' and 'convenient' development environment.

Visual Studio (free 'Express' versions - only until 2017) are feature-centered and simplified versions of the full version. Feature-centered meaning that there are different versions (Visual Studio Web Developer, Visual Studio C#, etc.) depending on your goal.

Visual Studio (free Community edition - since 2015) is a simplified version of the full version and replaces the separated express editions used before 2015.

Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is a cross-platform (Linux, Mac OS, Windows) editor that can be extended with plugins to your needs.

For example if you want to create an ASP.NET application using VS Code you need to perform several steps on your own to setup the project. There is a separate tutorial for each OS.

Visual Studio Code is an editor while Visual Studio is an IDE.

Visual Studio Code is cross-platform and fast, while Visual Studio is Windows/Mac only and not fast.

Note that Visual Studio for Mac is available now but is a different product compared to Visual Studio (Windows). It's based on Xamarin Studio and lacks support for some older .NET project types. It does successfully build solutions created in VS 2017. VS mac has a more limited UI (for example, no customizable toolbar). So for cross-platform work. VS Code may still be preferable.

I will provide a detailed differences between Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code below.

If you really look at it the most obvious difference is that .NET has been split into two:

• .NET Core (Mac, Linux, and Windows)
• .NET Framework (Windows only)

All native user interface technologies (Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Forms, etc.) are part of the framework, not the core.

The 'Visual' in Visual Studio (from Visual Basic) was largely synonymous with visual UI (drag & drop WYSIWYG) design, so in that sense, Visual Studio Code is Visual Studio without the Visual!

The second most obvious difference is that Visual Studio tends to be oriented around projects & solutions.

Visual Studio Code:

• It's a lightweight source code editor which can be used to view, edit, run, and debug source code for applications.
• Simply it is Visual Studio without the Visual UI, majorly a superman’s text-editor.
• It is mainly oriented around files, not projects.
• It does not have any scaffolding support.
• It is a competitor of Sublime Text or Atom on Electron.
• It is based on the Electron framework, which is used to build cross platform desktop application using web technologies.
• It does not have support for Microsoft's version control system; Team Foundation Server.
• It has limited IntelliSense for Microsoft file types and similar features.
• It is mainly used by developers on a Mac who deal with client-side technologies (HTML, JavaScript, and CSS).

Visual Studio:

• As the name indicates, it is an IDE, and it contains all the features required for project development. Like code auto completion, debugger, database integration, server setup, configurations, and so on.
• It is a complete solution mostly used by and for .NET related developers.It includes everything from source control to bug tracker to deployment tools, etc. It has everything required to develop.
• It is widely used on .NET related projects (though you can use it for other things). The community version is free, but if you want to make most of it then it is not free.

• Visual Studio is aimed to be the world’s best IDE (integrated development environment), which provide full stack develop toolsets, including a powerful code completion component called IntelliSense, a debugger which can debug both source code and machine code, everything about ASP.NET development, and something about SQL development.

• In the latest version of Visual Studio, you can develop cross-platform application without leaving the IDE. And Visual Studio takes more than 8 GB disk space (according to the components you select).

• In brief, Visual Studio is an ultimate development environment, and it’s quite heavy.

Complementing the previous answers, one big difference between both is that Visual Studio Code comes in a so called 'portable' version that does not require full administrative permissions to run on Windows and can be placed in a removable drive for convenience.

Visual Studio For Mac

C++ Visual Studio For Mac

Visual C++ For Mac

Visual Studio

• IDE
• Except for free editions, it is a paid IDE.
• It is quite heavy on CPU and lags on lower end PCs.
• It is mostly used for Windows software development including DirectX programs, Windows API, etc.
• Advanced IntelliSense (best one ever; Visual Studio Code's IntelliSense extension takes second place)
• It features built-in debuggers, easy-to-configure project settings (though developers tend to not use the GUI ones)
• Microsoft support (more than Visual Studio Code)
• Mostly used for C/C++ (Windows), .NET and C# projects along with SQL Server, database, etc.
• Extreme large download size, space utilization and the slow downs over time.
  • It is the only con that forces me to use Visual Studio Code for smaller projects*
• Includes tools to generate dependency graphs. Refactoring tools have great support for Visual Studio.
• Has a VYSIWYG editor for VB.NET, C++.NET, and C#. (It is easy enough for first time users instead of getting through windows.h)

Visual Studio Code

• Free open source text editor
• Has IntelliSense (but it doesn't work out of box if Visual Studio is not installed, need to configure to point to MinGW, etc.)
• Smaller download size and RAM requirements. With IntelliSense it requires around 300 MB RAM. (Edit : Some header files tend to blow up memory requirements to 7-8 GBs eg. OpenGL and GLM Libraries)
• It works on lower-end PCs. (it is still slow to start up especially if PowerShell is used instead of CMD)
• Lower support (open source, so you can modify it yourself)
• Build tasks are project specific. Even if you want to build it in a vanilla configuration.
• Mostly used for web development (this applies to all free text editors). They tend to show off JavaScript / HTML support over C/C++. Visual Studio shows off Visual Basic/C++ over other languages.
• Lack of good extensions (it's still new though)
• Gives you a hard time to reconfigure your project/workspace settings. I prefer the GUI way.
• Cross platform
• Has an integrated terminal (PowerShell is too slow at startup though)
• It is best for smaller projects and test code (you know if you are bored and want to print 'Hello, World!', it does not make sense to wait 3-5 minutes while Visual Studio loads up, and then another minute or 2 at project creation and then finally getting it to print 'Hello, World!').

Visual Studio Code is integrated with a command prompt / terminal, hence it will be handy when there is switching between IDE and terminal / command prompt required, for example: connecting to Linux.
