can anyone please help me.

Thank you very much  in advance

vs2015 used a global typescript install, vs2017 uses a local. most likely you need to change your project to an earlier version (maybe 1.3). You will need to set both the typescript build and intellisense setting.

note: I use ES7 instead of typescript, so I only deal with the intellisense settings.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, is there a way that we can just let type generate the JS file regardless if there is an error? without downgrading?

Hi,

What i did is i just Upgrade my TS version from 2.3 to 2.6, add the tsconfig.json file with the following contents and that's it, it generates the JS file even with errors

{
    "compileOnSave": true,
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "commonjs",
        "noImplicitAny": true,
        "removeComments": true,
        "preserveConstEnums": true,
        "sourceMap": true
    }
}
