Can I work on a project stored in Visual Studio on Line using Eclipse on OSX?
as far as I know. Visual Studio online is a browser based environment, so if your question is if you can use it to develop .NET on mac - as an environment - I think it would work. But you won't be developing MAC apps on that.
do you with to develop MAC OS applications using .NET? if so, have you tried Mono Project (http://www.mono-project.com/)?
btw, I think mono is now Xamarin (http://xamarin.com/)

Current scenario is that I have this macos laptop (Apple M1 Pro processor) in which I was working for the last 8 months on react under visual studio code. Now, in a new project I need to leverage some API's and a lot of JSON responses and I wanted to debug the code but I saw that it is just not possible. I came across this old article ASP.NET Mono Setup
but I still feel that I won't be able to have the same level of developing experience like in a windows machine.
So, question is, can I (and if the answer if yes) debug an asp.net webforms app on visual studio 2022 for mac? If not, I would need to ask for a laptop replacement.
Thanks in advance!
Only the .net core runtimes are platform neutral.
But, the .net 2-4.8 runtimes are not.
One MIGHT be able to play and mess around with mono, but at the end of the day, I suggest you go with a VM (virtual machine),and run windows.
In other words, you don't need a new laptop, but just use a VM and install windows on that VM.
Since I am planning to buy a new MacBook Pro (2017) and currently working on a Windows 10-device on a ASP.NET MVC (Not ASP.NET Core MVC) project for my internship, I was wondering if it is possible to continue developing the same project in Visual Studio for Mac.
To put it in other words: Is it possible to develop ASP.NET MVC applications in Visual Studio for Mac?
I tried to Google this, but I could only find ASP.NET Core MVC projects being discussed for VS for Mac. The current project is NOT a Core project, but just an ASP.NET project.
I really don't want to install Windows either on my MacBook Pro or on an external drive.
As you've correctly surmised, it's not possible to build ASP.NET MVC projects on the Mac that aren't based on .NET Core or Mono. So if your project is currently targetting ASP.NET on .NET Framework 4.x, the you'll either have to stay on Windows:
Use Bootcamp to run Windows on your Mac
Use a Virtual Machine to run Windows inside Mac
Use Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion to run windows applications inside your Mac
Or you can convert your application over to Mono or .NET Core, depending on your dependencies that may be relatively easy, or very hard or anywhere in between.
You could also decide to use Visual Studio Team Services to build your code on a Windows Hosted agent and edit the sources on yoru mac, you'd have to forego the ability to compile or run your code locally.
You can also decide to "rent" a virtual machine in Azure (maybe your have MSDN credits you could use for this purpose?) and remote desktop to that machine to work on your project.
I'm working on my first ever .NET project. I'm using Visual Studio Community for Mac and I'm required to use a WebForms project.
I created the project using VS, the basic template, but I have no idea how to run it locally to get it to load in a browser.
Apparently most of the WebServer solutions (like Kestrel) require a Windows environment with IIS.
What are my options on the Mac?
To be clear, I'm constrained to use .NET with WebForms, I can't go with MVC for this project.
I am developing .net applications on a mac using parallels where I have a windows VM and all my .net tooling.
now that visual studio 2017 can run on mac, would i be able to eliminate my method and run visual studio direct on my mac and seamlessly be able to move my code over to the mac version and compile and develop asp.net web applications?
I am only worried about web applications.
I have a project that needs to be done using ASP.NET. Currently, I'm using a Linux box and don't have an access to Windows so I was wondering about doing the development in Mono.Net for the meanwhile. The final project needs to be completed on the Microsoft.NET.
How easy would it be to port a Mono.NET application to a Microsoft.NET? Or should I just wait till I get the windows machine? I don't mind an occasional challenge but not if it's going to be a big pain.
It should work fine just make sure you use the Microsoft .NET APIs only or keep track of any Mono or other opensource DLLs and include them when you run on Windows.
MonoDevelop could also help as it creates Visual Studio compatible project files which can help your migration if you want to later migrate to Visual Studio also.
