Yes ofcourse you can.

1. Install Vs2017 with "Linux Development with C++"
   https://www.hanselman.com/blog/WritingAndDebuggingLinuxCApplicationsFromVisualStudioUsingTheWindowsSubsystemForLinux.aspx
   then you can now create and debug with Linux
2. Install cpprestsdk on your Linux Server
   https://github.com/Microsoft/cpprestsdk/wiki/How-to-build-for-Linux
3. Open [Property] of your VS Project [Linker] -> [Input]
   Add "boost_system; crypto; ssl; cpprest" to the [Library Dependencies].
   
   Then it works. Hope this will help you.
