Modifying and running VB.net project in Visual Studio Code?

Question

Is it possible to modify and run existing VB Visual Studio 2010 projects in Visual Studio Code? I have some VB.NET projects that I would like to open in visual studio code and I haven't found anything online that says whether or not this is possible. Drag and drop functionality isn't necessary for me, I only care about being able to run the source code.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance!

VS Code is only an editor with code highlighting, Intellisense and so on. There are no compilers integrated. You can use the free Visual Studio 2015 Community, but it's not a native Linux program. — Jens

You can use Visual Studio Code to edit any text file you want.

So it doesn't allow for running a program? That's a shame. The webpage for it made it seem (to me anyways) like you can compile and run Visual Studio projects with it.

@AlexMcVittie: It can run new DNX projects; I don't think it can currently run older MSBuild projects.
