Visual Studio 2015 Hide Javascript Errors from Error List

Question

I have recently started working with mvc6 and knockoutJS in Visual Studio 2015. When I use knockout in my typescript files I get red underlines on everything jquery or knockout (or any library) related, and it says Cannot find name 'ko' in my Error List. I understand that the IDE can't work out that these javascript objects do exist, but surely this is a problem everybody gets?

How can I remove intellisense from my javascript/typescript files?

Answer 1

Option 1: From Settings

You will need to disable the Javascript Language Service by going to Options > Text Editor > JavaScript/TypeScript > Language Service and un-check "Enable the new JavaScript language service"

Option 2: Disable it through the registry

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\15.0\\TypeScriptLanguageService]

Create/Edit the dword UseTypeScriptExperimental to 00000000

“UseTypeScriptExperimental”=dword:00000000
