Does the windows program "VISUAL C# 2010 EXPRESS" work on WinOnX. If not, is there a good way to run the program on a mac (w/ snow leopard)? I have had trouble with Parallels and VMware and I hope that there is a good way to run the program without a virtual machine.
Got a tip for us?

Anything built around Wine can only do as well as winehq suggests.
What kinds of issues did you run into with the VM solutions?

I only have windows xp in vmware 4 and it requires Service Pack 3 for the application to work. I was pretty sure that you cant download a Service Pack on the virtual machine but I tried anyway and it gave me a weird blue screen and crashed vmware.
Worst case scenario. Slipstream SP3 into your original XP installer and create a new VM.

I'm sorry but I don't know what slipstream means or how to do that. Could you please explain?

Use your existing VM to create the SP3 integrated ISO.

It is taking a ridiculous amount of time to download, but once I try what you said, I will let you know my results. Thank you for the help thus far.

Why? That's why you use the existing VM (or the non-SP3 XP to create one) to have a Windows box to work in.
A long long time ago I did actually get the whole process working under Wine, using mkisofs and dd, but it really isn't worth it. That was before the VM solutions were well established.
