Xamarin forms development on LinuxMint - c#

Is there any way that we can build/debug and run xamarin forms app on linuxMint?
Alternatively is there any way that we can run visual studio 2019 on Linux apart from using vine?

Sorry , there is no way to build /debug a xamarin froms app on Linux OS from officail supports.
However , about Xamarin.Android on Linux , you can have a look at that .Although that not tested on linuxMint , also can have a try whther it also works on linuxMint .
Alternatively is there any way that we can run visual studio 2019 on Linux apart from using vine?
(Hoping that Microsoft will release Visual Studio for Linux soon)
But Microsoft hasn’t made it’s Visual Studio Open Source. So it isn’t Available for Linux Systems.
You can only Install Visual Studio Code for Linux Systems , which is an amazing Code editor for Programmers.

Find the Mono version on Visual Studio

When trying to connect to Mac on Visual Studio on Windows, I'm told that the version on the Mac is different and am asked by VS if I want it to install Mono on the Mac.
But the version on the Mac is newer.
From experience, I've seen that trying to do that created more trouble rather than help.
So I'd like to search for how to update the Mono version on Windows/VS, but I can't seem to find anywhere an option to do that. So I want to find out what version is "installed" on VS.
If you're going to be working predominantly on a windows machine, then let it install whatever version the visual studio wants. Sometimes windows visual studio will use a different version than mac visual studio. The environment you're working in should dictate what version you use.

Are we able to install Microsoft Visual Studio(not Visual Studio code) in Linux Ubuntu for windows from application?

I'm using Linux Ubuntu and for semester project I need to install Microsoft Visual Studio for development of Windows form application and .net application and I have less hard drive space(using 128 SSD hard-disk) to install Virtual Machine So my question is, is there any way to install Microsoft Visual Studio(not Visual Studio code) in Linux Ubuntu for the development of windows from application?
It is not possible to install Microsoft Visual Studio on Linux Ubuntu. See this link of the Microsoft Docs
You will not be able to develop a Windows Forms application on a Linux machine, Microsoft indicated that WPF and WinForms will be Windows only with no plans to move them cross-platform, even if you use .NET Core.

Software development on Mac OS (visual studio for mac)

I am considering options for a new computer and I am debating between a Windows and MacOS platform. I'm a windows (C#/.net) developer and I work primarily in visual studio, but I also work in other open source technologies in my personal time.
Microsoft has recently released Visual Studio for MacOS and I'm wondering if there are any significant limitations that would make .net core in visual studio on a Mac too difficult to be worthwhile.
I've heard of some early limitations such as not being able to publish to the filesystem and not being able to run multiple instances of Visual Studio, but I'm unsure if these have been resolved, or if they are on the VS for Mac roadmap.
I am trying not to make this an opinion-based question so I am looking for factual limitations or benefits. One of the benefits I see is being able to develop software and test on all three major platforms via virtualization (mac, windows, linux).
You will be able to do on Mac
Run and debug .NET Core projects.
Run multiple instances of Visual Studio 2019.
Run and debug Xamarin projects.
You won't be able to do on Mac
Run ASP.NET Full Framework projects.
Run Winforms projects (you might if you use Mono, but it won't be transparent).
Run IIS.
Visual Studio for Windows has more project templates, especially for Azure.
Benefits?
Running .NET projects if you have a Mac.
I think Xamarin development is better on Mac.
Personal conclusion
I use both environments every day. If you are a Mac user is great being able to run .NET Core apps without a VM. But, I consider VS on Window way more mature than VS for Mac.
You may use JetBrains Rider on your Mac or run the Visual Studio for Windows under Parallels Tools.

Is it possible to create a Windows Service through Visual Studio Code?

In my visual studio code project, I have generated an .exe file for the project and I'm trying create make my .exe as Windows Service.
From here and here, if I'm not mistaken, these solutions look like done by using Visual Studio instead of Visual Studio Code. Is it possible to create a Window Service through Visual Studio Code?
You cant,
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 - Linux,
Mac OSX, and Windows.
It has no concept of an Windows Service
If you wish to create a Windows service you will have to use Visual Studio or something that can compile standard .net Windows application
Great comment from Ben Voigt
You're correct that Visual Studio Code doesn't have a concept of a
service, but that's because it is an editor not a compiler. The same
C# compiler installed as part of the .NET runtime, can build Windows
Services. And you can edit the windows service code in VS Code

execute windows code in Visual studio 2015 with xamarin plugin

I am using the xamarin platform.
I have source code which is developed in C# for Windows develop in Visual Studio 2013
I have Visual Studio 2015 (Profession) in my system 1st time.
Want to check my windows code is compatible to xamarin plugin supported by visualstudio 2015 or not.
Note: I know that Visual studio 2015 have facilitate with the xamarin.
Reason: I want to reuse code develop in C# for Windows in xamarin so that I can reuse the code & develop the ios & Android application utilising xamarin in Visual Studio.
How do I perform this?
You can absolutely reuse your existing C# code with Xamarin project. However, you will need to recompile the code to target Xamarin profiler, unless you're using Portable Class libraries
You can read more about code sharing options here: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/application_fundamentals/building_cross_platform_applications/sharing_code_options/
