TypeScript / Visual Studio 2012 / Compilation parameters

Question

I need to generate Source Maps when the TypeScript Compiler is executed from Visual Studio 2012. In Sublime Text 2, I just had to add an extra parameter to the build script.

Answer 1

Mads Kristensen's Web Essentials extension for Visual Studio added support for producing source maps automatically in version 1.3. You need to enable it in in Tools -> Options for Web Essentials. http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/07d54d12-7133-4e15-becb-6f451ea3bea6

The free Express editions of Visual Studio does not support extensions.
