G+_Christophe Vandingelen Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Hi guys, I was wondering. I have a chromebook, and been searching for a c# ide for it, maybe online. Do any of you have an idea of witch I can use for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Lance Spence Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Probably Visual Studio Online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Christophe Vandingelen Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Lance Spence waaw, didn't know there was an online version, I'll definitely check it out, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Louis Maresca Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Great question christophe vandingelen ! Visual Studio online Is an option, but for an installed IDE check out http://monodevelop.com/Download it works on Ubuntu, Suse, sle, and Debian.

G+_Lee Crocker Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Yes, it's possible to run on other platforms, but face reality: C# is a Windows language. If you want to write for other platforms, don't waste your time on it. Learn C, Go, Python, or similar portable languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Christophe Vandingelen Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 I know, but I love what Lou is doing on coding 101, like the to do list you started today very mutch :), I also have a windows computer but just was looking if it's possible on the chromebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Maruschek Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The Chrome OS is unfortunately unique. I'm not sure MonoDevelop would even be installable under Chrome OS, because I think the only things you can "install" are Chrome add-ons. Visual Studio Online is really just an on-line code repository so you can share your code and projects among team members without having to set up a Team Foundation Server. Its meant to work along with Visual Studio on your desktop, but not be a replacement for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Christophe Vandingelen Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Joe Maruschek indeed, you can only install Chrome add-ons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Christophe Vandingelen Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but it seems like visual studio online only lets me manage my projects witch I have to open in visual studio, not to program them. If I'm wrong, can anyone point me to the right direction, cause a trip to youtube and channel9 videos didn't make me any wiser too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nate Follmer Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 christophe vandingelen the few online IDE's I have experience with do not let you code in C#... C++ though, but that doesn't help you. Cloud9 is probably my favorite though if you want to check one out https://c9.io If it were me, I would set up that Windows machine with Visual Studio and then use some form of remote desktop software on the Chromebook to control your Windows machine. I actually do this when I need to edit a video on my Mac from my Windows laptop when I'm on the road without my Macbook. It's a bit slower, but totally usable.

G+_Christophe Vandingelen Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Nathan Follmer that's how I do it right now, just wanted to know if it was possible to do it directly online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Lance Spence Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I should have asked earlier, but if you are looking for something to use if your learning C# and want to execute small programs or snippets maybe ideone.com will suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nate Follmer Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Yeah ideone.com would work for minimal code, http://www.compileonline.com/compile_csharp_online.php is one I have used before too. Just gets tough when you want multi file programs, which if you're learning, might not be an issue for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Louis Maresca Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 All of you are currently correct about Visual Studio online... "Compiler as a Service" seems to be coming ;) http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-to-detail-more-of-its-next-generation-developer-story-in-november-7000034160/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
