  1. POWhy does a Build of my TypeScript project in Visual Studio ignore the TypeScriptTarget parameter?
    text
    copied!<p>I have an existing TypeScript project in Visual Studio (Express 2012 for Web). This project was created with TypeScript 0.8.1.</p> <p>Some of the classes make use of properties and so require the <code>--target ES5</code> compiler parameter. </p> <p>I have just now updated the plugin to TypeScript 0.8.2, and followed the steps defined <a href="http://typescript.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Compile-on-Save" rel="nofollow">here</a> to enable "compile on save". This works as described, including compiling classes that use properties.</p> <p>When I try to build the project, however, I get errors such as: <code>Config.ts (32,6): Property accessors are only available when targeting ES5 or greater</code></p> <p>Here is the relevant section from my .csproj file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.targets" /&gt; &lt;PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'"&gt; &lt;TypeScriptTarget&gt;ES5&lt;/TypeScriptTarget&gt; &lt;TypeScriptIncludeComments&gt;true&lt;/TypeScriptIncludeComments&gt; &lt;TypeScriptSourceMap&gt;true&lt;/TypeScriptSourceMap&gt; &lt;/PropertyGroup&gt; </code></pre> <p>The complete file can be seen <a href="https://gist.github.com/sykesd/5033772" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p> <p>Why does it work for compiling individual files, but not if I build or rebuild the whole project?</p> <p>EDIT: updated snippet to show that the <code>&lt;Import&gt;</code> tag was also included.</p> <p>EDIT 2: added link to gist of complete project file.</p>
