- Nov 16, 2016 At this morning’s Connect(); 2016 keynote, Nat Friedman and James Montemagno introduced Visual Studio for Mac, the newest member of the Visual Studio family.Visual Studio for Mac is a developer environment optimized for building mobile and cloud apps with Xamarin and.NET. It is a one-stop shop for.NET development on the Mac, including Android, iOS, and.NET Core technologies.
- Run ASP.NET web apps and.NET programs in the cloud by using Azure Websites, WebJobs, Cloud Services, and VMs. Visual Studio guides you with live assistance as you write Visual Basic and C# code through IntelliSense and Analyzers, as well as provides world-class debugging and diagnostics tools. Visual Studio Community for Mac.
Using Visual Studio 2013 to create a Basic ASP.NET 4.5 Web Forms Page.; 14 minutes to read. A simple ASP.NET Web Forms page and illustrates the basic techniques of creating a new page, adding controls, and writing code. Templates group on the left. Then, select Web Form from the middle list and name it FirstWebPage.aspx. To create a new ASP.NET Web Application-project and a default Web Form you have to follow the following steps: 1. In Visual Studio.NET, on the Start Page, click New Project.
C# programmers have made extensive use of forms to build user interfaces. Each time you create a Windows application, Visual Studio will display a default blank form, onto which you can drag the controls onto your applications main form and adjust their size and position.
The first step is to start a new project and build a form. Open your Visual Studio and select File->New Project and from the new project dialog box select Other Languages->Visual C# and select Windows Forms Application. Enter a project name at the bottom of the dialouge box and click OK button. The following picture shows how to create a new Form in Visual Studio.
Select Windows Forms Application from New Project dialog box.
After selecting Windows Forms Application , you can see a default Form (Form1) in your new C# project. The Windows Form you see in Designer view is a visual representation of the window that will open when your application is opened. You can switch between this view and Code view at any time by right-clicking the design surface or code window and then clicking View Code or View Designer. The following picture shows how is the default Form (Form1) looks like.
At the top of the form there is a title bar which displays the forms title. Form1 is the default name, and you can change the name to your convenience . The title bar also includes the control box, which holds the minimize, maximize, and close buttons.
If you want to set any properties of the Form, you can use Visual Studio Property window to change it. If you do not see the Properties window, on the View menu, click Properties window. This window lists the properties of the currently selected Windows Form or control, and its here that you can change the existing values.
For example , to change the forms title from Form1 to MyForm, click on Form1 and move to the right side down Properties window, set Text property to MyForm. Then you can see the Title of the form is changed. Likewise you can set any properties of Form through Properties window.
You can also set the properties of the Form1 through coding. For coding, you should right-click the design surface or code window and then clicking View Code.
When you right click on Form then you will get code behind window, there you can write your code
For example , if you want to change the back color of the form to Brown , you can code in the Form1_Load event like the following.
Likewise you can change other properties of Form1 through coding.
How to Pass Data Between Forms
In C# , there are many situations the new programmers face the same problem about how to pass data and values from one form to another. The following link will guide you .... Pass Data Between Forms
Form on Top of All Other Windows
You can bring a Form on top of C# application by simply setting the Form.topmost form property to true will force the form to the top layer of the screen. More about.... How to keep Form on Top of All Other Windows
MDI Form
A C# Multiple Document Interface (MDI) programs can display multiple child windows inside them. This is in contrast to single document interface (SDI) applications, which can manipulate only one document at a time. More about.... C# MDI Form
The following C# source code shows how to change the Title, BackColor, Size, Location and MaximizeBox properties of Form1. Copy and paste the following C# source code to source code editor of your Visual Studio.
When you execute (press F5 key) the program the form is look like the following image.
The Windows based programs you create using C# run in the context of a form. When you close the form, the application also ends.

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.
Which software are the best solution in my case to have a similar workplace with the same functionality?
I prefer open source, but commercial software is okay too.

MonoDevelop from: http://monodevelop.com/
There is no equivalent to Visual Studio. However, for writing C# on Mac or Linux, you can't get better than MonoDevelop.
The Mac build is pre beta. From the MonoDevelop site on Mac:
The Mac OS X port of MonoDevelop is under active development and has not seen a stable release yet. Recent work described by Michael Hutchinson has focussed on improving the usability and stability of Monodevelop on the Mac. This work will be released in MonoDevelop 2.2. Right now it's not finished, and is very much an alpha.

The question is quite old so I feel like I need to give a more up to date response to this question.
Based on MonoDevelop, the best IDE for building C# applications on the Mac, for pretty much any platform is http://xamarin.com/

Whilst more of a workaround, if you're running an Intel Mac, you could go the virtualisation route - at least then you can run the same tools.

Coming from someone who has tried a number of 'C# IDEs' on the Mac, your best bet is to install a virtual desktop with Windows and Visual Studio. It really is the best development IDE out there for .NET, nothing even comes close.
On a related note: I hate XCode.
Update: Use Xamarin Studio. It's solid.
