Developing ASP.NET application for a Linux Server
<p>The problem: I have created a beautiful ASP.NET application using the 4.5 .Net Framework, and now my Boss would like me to deploy it on a Linux server. I already have looked into using .NET Core 1.0 (also called .NET 5) which is available on Visual Studio 2015, but my company only has Visual Studio 2013.</p>

<p>The question: Is it possible to deploy an application written in Visual Studio 2013 that targets the 4.5 .Net Framework onto a Linux server? If not, what are my best options; should I consider changing my server-side language to one that works on Linux?</p>
