Get started TypeScript with Knockout JS in Visual Studio 2015

In recent ASP.NET MVC Web application I am working on, I need to write lots of knockout code for data binding. The code started to become very messy. It would be hard for colleagues later to maintain it. There are also some other missing features for JavaScript coding in general. For example, if I want to rename a variable, there is no refactoring feature like we have for C# in Visual Studio. One good solution comes to mind was using TypeScript. It's basically another layer above JavaScript. It helps us write strongly typed code and TypeScript complier will help us compile into standard JavaScript. And since TypeScript is just a superset of JavaScript, we can still mix normal JS code with TypeScript code. Let's start to create a simple application to wire up TypeScript with Knockout in Visual Studio 2015. Step1: Open VS 2015 and create a empty ASP.NET Web Application. Step2: Add a folder called Scripts under solution. And then add a new TypeScript(.ts) file Step 3: Write some simple TypeScript code: If you press "Show All Files" button, you will see the auto-generated js file for your TypeScript code.
