macOS Visual Studio on Mac? OpenGL question

[Shad0wDK]

Hello,

I am taking some computer graphics courses on my study at the moment. Therefore I am gonna use my Mac for stuff like OpenGL and C++ programming. Moreover the courses use Visual Studio projects with exercise files etc. So my question is what you think would be the best option for me to use these files. Should I run Visual Studio using VMWare or would I be better off with booting into Windows with Bootcamp?

A third option could probably be to use XCode, but since there are a lot of new stuff for me I am not so interested in trying to solve IDE problems that might show up because I use XCode instead of Visual Studio. I tried a bit, but didn't really get it to work.

What would you advice me to do?

Thanks in advance.

Okay..

Maybe this question is not too related with my original question, but what do I do if I install VMWare and Windows, activating windows, and afterwards decide to do a bootcamp installation?

Will I be able to do the activation with the same CD-key ?

I only have 1 key as I can download Windows XP SP2 through the university where I study (MS academic alliance I think it's called).
