Remote compilation and launch of Visual Studio

Question

I am trying to figure out if Visual Studio 2012 can be used as a complete Linux development package. I know that this is not an ordinary question, but work with me. Until now, I am able to use Visual Studio as a text editor for editing inside a Linux virtual machine running on my computer.

The way I did this is to create a permanent ssh portal that acts like a hard drive in my windows. I did this using the WebDrive program:

So, this is cool, it means that I have the opportunity to fully view my C ++ Linux project from Visual Studio. This provides all the cool C ++ editing features that I like in visual studio.

So where from here?

Basically, what I have now is a heavy, illustrious text editor.

What I would like to do is get the whole Shabbat to work.

I would like to be able to compile and run code from visual studio remotely at the server address. Is it possible? Code built with cmake compiler and g ++?

Best would be http://www.wingdb.com/ . WinGDB allows you to work in the VS studio and compile it yourself on a remote Linux machine. A complete debugging step in VS is supported. For DLL files, you can connect to a remote process running on your Linux build server in VS. A great solution for working in the friendlier VS dev environment, but still with the full power of the Linux dev stack. Automatically create make files through VS project files too. Hope this helps.
