Visual Studios 2015 and shared folder via vbox

I don't support there is any way to make Visual Studios work correctly with projects located on share through virtual box?

When I try to load a project I get errors about being unable to read a file but yet I can read and write to this file manually outside of Visual Studios.

I found a post about this being an issue back with Visual Studios 2010 and just wanted to see if there was a workaround or plans to implement a fix.

No, it is a design limitation of shared folders. They are only implemented for a simple way to transfer/copy files between guest and host and don't have many features needed to be used with applications.
You probably would need to use a "real" network share from the host.
