Today we are announcing the release of Visual Studio for Mac version 7.6. Our focus with this release has been to improve product reliability in various areas, with a special focus on the code editing experience. This video shows how you can run Microsoft Visual Studio and Microsoft SQL Server on a Mac OSX machine using Virtualization Technology such as Parallels for Desktop. I have setup a Win7 – VS2012 PC and also a Mac Mini (Maverics). I have paired the machines with Xamarin.IOS Build Host I can create an Iphone App in Visual Studio, I can also create a new project in Xcode and layout a storyboard.
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.
Declaring a “bright new day for our friends in Macintosh-Land,” Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer today unveiled Visual Studio 2010 for Mac OSX, expected to be available this summer. Speaking to a full crowd at the Medenbauer Center, Ballmer reminded the audience that Microsoft is one of the oldest and most competitive ISVs for Apple’s Macintosh platform. The company’s Excel spreadsheet software first appeared for Mac in 1985, he bellowed, two full years before Microsoft released a Windows version.
“We never stopped loving the Mac,” he shouted, waving an iPhone. “Every day, our Windows 7 dev team is inspired by the great work being done by visionaries in Cupertino.” Standing in front of a giant poster of an Apple iPad tablet computer, Ballmer screamed, “now it’s time to give something back!”
The centerpiece of Visual Studio for Mac OS X is its native implementation of Apple’s preferred object-oriented programming language, Objective-C, which is used by both Mac OS X and iPhone/iPad developers. According to Ballmer, the new Visual objective-C IDE will also appear in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 for Windows. Applications written in the Smalltalk-inspired language will require only a simple recompile to run on both Mac and Windows 7, he said.
Playing to the cheering developers at the software launch, Ballmer then showed Visual Basic for Mac OS X, another component of the Visual Studio for Mac OS X suite. “You asked for it, you got it!” he shrieked, before being buried by a hailed of rose petals and hotel keys tossed by ISVs and industry analysts. Ballmer said that the Visual Studio for Mac OS X suite (expected to ship by Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco, June 8-12) is expected to woo developers from Apple’s Xcode. “I know you love your Xcode,” he roared, “but I promise you’ll love your Visual Studio for Mac even more!”
On-stage demos at the event included Macintosh integration with Visual Studio Team System; using Visual Basic with Apple’s iPhone SDK to build a voice recognition application for iPhone and iPad; and porting BioShock 2 from Windows to Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard.” Baller apologized for the tool chain’s lack of support for versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.5 “Leopard,” saying, “We’re only human, okay?”
As he was leaving the stage, Ballmer turned back. “Oh, just one more thing, “ he cried – and then showed off the company’s full .NET Framework 4.0 for Mac OS X, available for free download from the Microsoft website. “We love you, Apple!” he whooped, bringing the event to a triumphant close.

Last year at Build, we launched Visual Studio for Mac, our native macOS IDE for developers building cloud, web, and mobile applications using .NET. Updates have been rolling out at a steady pace ever since, and we’re excited to announce the release of Visual Studio for Mac version 7.5. We have also continued to bring more Visual Studio 2017 code to the Mac.
Our mission has always been to delight developers, and we have something for everyone in this release. You can get started by downloading the new release or updating your existing install to the latest build in the Stable channel.
Here are some of the features we’re most excited to share with you:
- ASP.NET Core developers now have full Razor editor support. We’ve also introduced JavaScript and TypeScript support.
- For iOS developers, we added WiFi debugging support for iOS and tvOS applications. We also improved the iOS provisioning system.
- Android developers will enjoy the new Android SDK manager built right into the IDE, as well as a device manager to keep track of all your devices and emulators
- Xamarin.Forms developers will enjoy an improved XAML editing experience
- Cloud developers have support for Azure Functions development using .NET Core.
- We support .NET Core 2.1 RC and C# 7.2.
- Code-styling rules can be configured per-project using .editorconfig files.
- A preview of Team Foundation Version Control support for Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Team Services is now available.
We’re also shipping improvements to performance and stability, accessibility, and multi-language support, along with fixes for a number of bugs reported by our vibrant developer community. You can find the full list of changes in our release notes.
ASP.NET Core development with Razor, JavaScript, and TypeScript Editor Support
We partnered with the Roslyn and Visual Studio JavaScript tooling teams to reuse Razor, JavaScript, and TypeScript editor source code, bringing the editing experiences you know and love from Visual Studio 2017 to the Mac.
Official Razor support includes IntelliSense and syntax highlighting in .cshtml files
Our JavaScript editor has been rewritten to provide the core editor experience you expect, including IntelliSense, enhanced colorization, and brace completion. We’ve also added TypeScript editing support, which shares the same IntelliSense and colorization as our JavaScript experience.
Use .editorconfig files to Set Code Style Rules in Projects
One of my favorite features is finally here: .editorconfig
Visual Studio for Mac will now format your code following the conventions specified in the .editorconfig file. This will allow you to set your coding style, preferences, and warnings for your project; making it simpler for code that you contribute to other projects to follow the practices of those projects.
Xamarin.Forms Development
We now ship Xamarin.Forms templates that take advantage of .NET Standard Libraries.
Working with XAML just got better, too, with IntelliSense improvements providing better support for self-closing elements and more completions.
Android Development with Xamarin
On the Android side of the house, we added an integrated Android Device Manager dialog, eliminating the need to rely upon 3rd-party tools for device and emulator management. You can find this under Tools > Device Manager.
iOS Development with Xamarin
iOS fans will enjoy a streamlined Entitlements editor experience, making it a breeze to add capabilities and services to your iOS apps.
Simply open the Entitlements.plist file and jump right in! Not only that, our new Automatic Signing experience makes deploying your application to devices very simple. In the Signing section of the Info.plist editor, you’ll find using Automatic Signing makes the burdens of manually tracking your entitlements and provisioning devices things of the past.
Building Serverless solutions with Azure Functions
Our new Azure Functions templates now support the Azure Functions .NET Core SDK, empowering you to build, debug, and test Azure Functions locally. In addition, item templates provide guidance for building functions using the most common triggers, enabling you to get up and running with new functions in minutes.
Visual Studio 2012 For Mac
After creating a new Azure Functions project, right-click and select Add > Add Function, then choose your favorite function from the template dialog.Check out our documentation for a walkthrough to create your first Function in Azure.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Mac Os X
.NET Core 2.1 RC and C# 7.2
Visual Studio for Mac version 7.5 now supports .NET Core 2.1 RC. Major improvements include faster build performance, better compatibility with .NET Framework, and closing gaps in both ASP.NET Core and EF Core. You can read more about the .NET Core 2.1 RC release in the announcement blog post. Support for the newest C# release, version 7.2, is also available today.
Working with your source with Team Foundation Version Control
One of our most popular feature requests has been to add support for Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) to access source saved in Team Foundation Server or Visual Studio Team Services. We heard you loud and clear! Today, we’re previewing a new extension to do just that.
To install the extension, navigate to Visual Studio > Extensions… in the Visual Studio for Mac menu and search the gallery for “team foundation”. We support Get, Commit (with associated work items), version history, and more.
