I'd imagine not, Visual Studio uses a lot of the windows specific functions. You could try Wine but I am not sure how much luck you'd have with this. If you want to use C++ though there are plenty of IDE's you could use on Linux, I personally use Eclipse which has support for C++, might want to check it out.

The nearest way to do it, is to run a Windows virtual machine on the Ubuntu host using VirtualBox or VMware. I personally use Eclipse or Qt Creator to edit the code. On Linux machines, the compilation process is a bit trickier, and most people use the terminal console to do it. Here's a quick YouTube tutorial to help you get to know the ropes.

You should open the terminal, either by searching the apps or by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.

Then type:

sudo apt-get update # This will update the list of programs you can download
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install g++

There are plenty of such tutorials in the Internet.
