Recently started with TypeScript with Visual Studio for the AngularJs and landed into a deep problem. The problem was that i was on a blank solution/project with no changes, and still there was a build error. The transition was assumed to be ok, but it didn’t turned out. So here  are the steps I did:

1. Create a new MVC project in Visual Studio 2015. Added references for Angular using the PM Console.
   Command: install-package angularjs

   PM> install-package angularjs
   Attempting to gather dependencies information for package 'angularjs.1.5.0' with respect to project 'AngularTestTypeScript', targeting '.NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2'
   Attempting to resolve dependencies for package 'angularjs.1.5.0' with DependencyBehavior 'Lowest'
   Resolving actions to install package 'angularjs.1.5.0'
   Resolved actions to install package 'angularjs.1.5.0'
   Adding package 'angularjs.1.5.0' to folder 'c:\users\vineetyadav\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\AngularTestTypeScript\packages'
   Added package 'angularjs.1.5.0' to folder 'c:\users\vineetyadav\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\AngularTestTypeScript\packages'
   Added package 'angularjs.1.5.0' to 'packages.config'
   Successfully installed 'angularjs 1.5.0' to AngularTestTypeScript

2. At this point solution should compile well.
3. Install the DefinitrlyTyped typings for TypeScript for angularjs from PM Console.
   Command: install-package angularjs.typescript.definitelytyped

   PM> install-package angularjs.typescript.definitelytyped
   Attempting to gather dependencies information for package 'angularjs.typescript.definitelytyped.5.4.0' with respect to project 'AngularTestTypeScript', targeting '.NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2'
   Attempting to resolve dependencies for package 'angularjs.typescript.definitelytyped.5.4.0' with DependencyBehavior 'Lowest'
   Resolving actions to install package 'angularjs.typescript.definitelytyped.5.4.0'
   Resolved actions to install package 'angularjs.typescript.definitelytyped.5.4.0'
   Adding package 'jquery.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped.0.0.1' to folder 'c:\users\vineetyadav\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\AngularTestTypeScript\packages'
   Added package 'jquery.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped.0.0.1' to folder 'c:\users\vineetyadav\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\AngularTestTypeScript\packages'
   Added package 'jquery.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped.0.0.1' to 'packages.config'
   Successfully installed 'jquery.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped 0.0.1' to AngularTestTypeScript
   Adding package 'angularjs.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped.5.4.0' to folder 'c:\users\vineetyadav\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\AngularTestTypeScript\packages'
   Added package 'angularjs.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped.5.4.0' to folder 'c:\users\vineetyadav\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\AngularTestTypeScript\packages'
   Added package 'angularjs.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped.5.4.0' to 'packages.config'
   Successfully installed 'angularjs.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped 5.4.0' to AngularTestTypeScript

4. Once installed, the solution should still compile ok, because as of now there is no TS file in the solution that should be compiled.
5. Add a .ts file to the project and add a simple function. This would initiate the TSC to come in picture and compile ts bindings.

   function doSum(a, b) {
       return a + b;
   }

6. Now building the solution gives a whole lot of compiler errors and compiler fails. The main errors are TS2304, TS2411, TS2320, . I get around 482 of such errors. The error loig from visual studio is attached below:Continue reading
