如何使用Visual Studio 2015创建TypeScript项目

Question

I'm trying to create a typescript project.

Very simply I want my ts files to turn into js files when I build.

I'm using VisualStudio 2015 Enterprise.

I created a Blank WebApplication.

I tried to install Typescript but it says typescript 1.6.3 has already been preinstalled.

When I create a ts file nothing happens.

When I right-click the project I do not have a Typescript tab in Project properties.

Where am I going wrong?

Make sure you create a TypeScript web project instead of a blank web project in the new project dialog:

When you build the project, VS will compile your ts files into js files. But you won't see them unless you turn on 'show all files' in the solution explorer:

That should be all you have to do. You can configure advanced properties of the build by right clicking on the project file and selecting project properties:

Hope that's enough to get you started.
