Hello Microsoft Team. I am a student with using Apple MacBook Air M1 chip 2020 Model. Recently, in our program, our professor started one program using your one of best application which is Visual Studio 2019, which is very easy to use for Windows PC. Well, I don't have any windows pc or any Laptop for practice so I download your another application which is Visual studio 2019 macOS version, which also a great application. So my problem is our tutor started the program and the files are having extension with ".aspx", which I can not find in my macOS version's application.

I find it on goggle but there are not as such result which can be useful for me. can you please help me for project.

Clear question is "how can I create one web application with C# language and it has .aspx extension in MacBook air M1 chip ?"

Answer 1

on a m1 Mac you should use visual studio 2022 as its been ported to run native.

you will need to talk to your instructor. .aspx pages are from the old .net framework which was not ported to the Mac. the Mac can only run asp.net core (net 6/7) applications. the closest to .aspx is the new core razor pages.

I believe asp.net 4.8 has been port to windows arm. If you must create asp.net 4.8 application you will need parallels for Mac. then install windows 11, and visual studio community for arm.

note: due to its speed, Mac arm with parallels is the standard platform for developing windows apps that target arm.
