A lighter editor would be Visual Code

Alternatives :

  1. Installing the Mono Project runtime . It allows you to re-compile the code and run it on a Mac, but this requires various alterations to the codebase, as the fuller .Net Framework is not available. (Also, WPF applications aren’t supported here either.)

  2. Virtual machine (VMWare Fusion perhaps)

  3. Update your codebase to .Net Core, (before choosing this option take a look at this migration process)

    • .Net Core 3.1 is an open-source, free and available on Window, MacOs and Linux

    • As of September 14, a release candidate 1 of .Net Core 5.0 has been deployed on Window, MacOs and Linux.
