Run VS-project on OSX

I want to join as a team member doing web design work in an ASP.NET/C# project.

The project is setup in Windows environment using TFS for source control.

However, I work on OSX and would love to be able to work in the project without having to setup a developing environment using Parallels or so.

Visual Studio Code seemed promising and I installed a TFS plug-in, but I have no idea how to connect to the project and run it on a http://localhost.

Is there a good way to do this?

(I am more of a designer than a tech person so please bear with me and my stupid questions :))

Thanks!

Visual Studio Code is certainly one way to view code in C#, but you can't really run it unless you're in .NET Core. I think you may be able to debug with Mono, so that might be worth a look first to see if your application is supported through that route. I've heard that Visual Studio will be available cross-platform sometime in the future (which will be amazing), but for now, the IDE is only available for Windows.

You can try using MonoDevelop which looks like a C# IDE for Mac (http://www.monodevelop.com/) and there's also Xamarin Studio (https://www.xamarin.com/studio). See this StackOverflow thread.

As for TFS, if you're using Git, you can easily connect to TFS using the server as a remote for your local repo (or clone the TFS instance onto your local machine), or you can use the command-line for Team Explorer Everywhere.
