I wanted to upgrade to 1.8. The folder was already there, so I edited the project file, reloaded, etc., but VS still used an older version of tsc.exe. I then downloaded the installation file for Typescript 1.8.2 for Visual Studio 2013, via online nuget search (Tools | Extensions and Updates). After installing, it was clear that VS was using a later version of tsc.exe (I only checked if the namespace keyword was recognized). Oddly, though, when I checked nuget (Tools | Extensions and Updates) for installed libraries, it did NOT show that TS 1.8.2 was installed. It's lying!Spero Larresnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528805174514452404.post-64416860859889926232016-10-29T12:59:49.400-04:002016-10-29T12:59:49.400-04:00Thank you for a clear explanation!

I'm still having compilation errors, but has definitely helped me in not going down a rabbit hole on my typescript compilation errors investigation. I see that I'm in the right version for my project, so the error is somewhere else.Paul (The Minnow)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01155273512159895867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528805174514452404.post-11676346378302017262016-03-28T18:21:50.622-04:002016-03-28T18:21:50.622-04:00THank you.

I was only half successful though. Code is compiled by 1.6 tsc, but Visual Studio's code editor still underlines 1.7 incompatible code in red. Any thoughts?Firewalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657319108978373415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528805174514452404.post-44398028917560979162015-11-24T09:24:41.591-05:002015-11-24T09:24:41.591-05:00A programming language should be judged in large p...A programming language should be judged in large part by the ecosystem and tooling it provides. I agree with the spirit of your assessment of TypeScript's utility and language design (relatively high, even if it's nowhere near a 10), but its tooling is seriously spotty in quality. Your ranking of "2" in one of the most basic of capabilities (determining which version you are using for your code) belies the "10" you give the language overall. The designers of TypeScript have done a terrible job of supporting their community and providing consistent tooling. A 10 should be reserved for something you can't find a flaw in. Your article is proof that Typescript is very, very far from a 10 overall. Do you really think a programming language that requires a how-to article on figuring out what version will be used to compile your project deserves a "10"?jpthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471145292646064081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528805174514452404.post-18993815637946227962015-09-18T00:53:53.229-04:002015-09-18T00:53:53.229-04:00I just upgraded from Typescript 1.5 to 1.6, got th...I just upgraded from Typescript 1.5 to 1.6, got the warning dialog about the typescript version being used not being the latest installed.
