I haven't tried, but maybe you can run VS express on wine. Most Visual C++ solutions work on g++, of course not all of them, but g++ extensions don't work on Visual C++ either. I don't know about C#, but there is Mono<http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page>and DotGNU <http://www.gnu.org/software/dotgnu/>, probably they can compile and run many of the C# solutions. And for Visual Basic, I have no clue, but there probably are some free compilers for Linux as well.
I know this is not ideal, maybe you don't wan't to install any of those just to test some solutions. But I feel the same way about gcc, so any code that uses gnu specific extensions, I don't compile/run them unless I can easily remove them.
