title: Debugging c# in Xamarin or Visual Studio (preview) for mac
body: <p>I teach a c# programming class for a college. Currently, I have a VM running Windows 10 on my Macbook Pro.</p>
  
  <p>When the students send me the zip file of their project I usually open the solution file in the VM, take a look at their code, and start without debugging.</p>
  
  <p>Currently, when doing so in Xamarin or the new Visual Studio preview it just runs the entire program without letting me give any input. Such as if they have a Console.ReadLine() it will not stop for me to enter a value.</p>
  
  <p>Is there something I am doing incorrect or what's going on?</p>
  
  <p>Also, these are for console apps - I haven't tried GUI apps yet - but if I run the same program with Visual Studio 2015 for Windows it stops to allow input. Just wanting to take away as many steps as possible to grade these quicker.</p>
