Setting up TypeScript project in Visual Studio Express

[sbat]

I want to try Visual Studio 2012 Express for my next Type Script game. 

 

There are some minor bumps with Visual Studio initial project setup. If anyone (Rich, maybe?  ) can help, it will be great!

 

I've installed TypeScript plugin, and created project from "HTML Application with TypeScript" template.

 

1) By default Visual Studio builds several DLLs to output dirs (ASP.NET server-side stuff?). How can I stop that? 

2) I don't want to compile TS files individually on Save, but rather use "out" command to build entire project to single JS. I've disabled "compile on save" in TS editor, but where do I add compiler invocation for project compilation (on Strl-Shift-B or F5)? 

3) Is breakpoints/debugging works for TypeScript in VS? How do I point it to sourcemaps that I would hopefully generate on step 2? 

 

Thanks in advance!

1) Delete them in a post-build script

 

2) Manually edit your csproj project file. It's all XML, the TS stuff should be at the bottom. If you need an example look in the 0.95 phaser branch, the csproj is in the Phaser folder.

 

3) Yes but only in IE iirc.
