- I've made my program in VB.Net for a few friends and family members. Some of my friends & family members have a Mac OS. I've heard that it's possible to run parallels on a Mac to make vb.net programs compatible, but I'm wondering what folks here in the community recommend for this situation. I would think it would be some kind of Open Source.
- Visual Basic does not work on any platform other than windows. However, if you look at crossover, they have tools available to port your windows application to work on Mac. This is done through Wine, a windows library extension for Mac and Linux.
- Visual Studio Code is a code editor redefined and optimized for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications. Visual Studio Code is free and available on your favorite platform.
- I've bought a MacBook Pro 13' this year with OS X mountain lion. Now, my school is having visual basic lesson and I supposed to install VB in my MBP. I know there is no visual basic in mac, but is there any other software that similar to visual basic, or I need to boot camp my MBP just only for that thing? Please help, I'm so confused.
- Im taking a college course that uses visual studio and using the programming language VB.Net. I downloaded visual basic for mac yesturday and opened up a project which I previously worked on for it not to work.

Launching from the command line
You can also run VS Code from the terminal by typing 'code' after adding it to the path:
![Visual basic macro for loop Visual basic macro for loop](/uploads/1/2/6/4/126465820/557837771.jpg)
- Launch VS Code.
- Open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+P)) and type 'shell command' to find the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command.
- Restart the terminal for the new
$PATH
value to take effect. You'll be able to type 'code .' in any folder to start editing files in that folder.
Note: If you still have the old
code
alias in your .bash_profile
(or equivalent) from an early VS Code version, remove it and replace it by executing the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command.To manually add VS Code to your path, you can run the following commands:
Start a new terminal to pick up your
.bash_profile
changes.Note: The leading slash
is required to prevent $PATH
from expanding during the concatenation. Remove the leading slash if you want to run the export command directly in a terminal.Touch Bar support

Mojave privacy protections
After upgrading to macOS Mojave version, you may see dialogs saying 'Visual Studio Code would like to access your {calendar/contacts/photos}.' This is due to the new privacy protections in Mojave and is not specific to VS Code. The same dialogs may be displayed when running other applications as well. The dialog is shown once for each type of personal data and it is fine to choose Don't Allow since VS Code does not need access to those folders. You can read a more detailed explanation in this blog post.
Updates
VS Code ships monthly releases and supports auto-update when a new release is available. If you're prompted by VS Code, accept the newest update and it will get installed (you won't need to do anything else to get the latest bits).
Note: You can disable auto-update if you prefer to update VS Code on your own schedule.
Preferences menu
You can configure VS Code through settings, color themes, and custom keybindings and you will often see mention of the File > Preferences menu group. On a macOS, the Preferences menu group is under Code, not File.

Common questions
Why do I see 'Visual Studio Code would like access to your calendar.'
If you are running macOS Mojave version, you may see dialogs saying 'Visual Studio Code would like to access your {calendar/contacts/photos}.' This is due to the new privacy protections in Mojave discussed above. It is fine to choose Don't Allow since VS Code does not need access to those folders.
