Example

What is supported in my version of Visual Studio?

Look in your C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.targets file.The authoritative mappings between MSBuild XML tags and tsc compiler options live in there.

If TypeScriptToolsVersion is not specified, the latest compiler version installed on the machine will be used to build.

TypeScriptCompileBlocked

If you are using a different build tool to build your project (e.g. gulp, grunt , etc.) and VS for the development and debugging experience, set <TypeScriptCompileBlocked>true</TypeScriptCompileBlocked> in your project.This should give you all the editing support, but not the build when you hit F5.
