VS2015 - Change TypeScript Version

Question

I am trying to update my Visual Studio 2015 + Cordova + TypeScript project to use TypeScript version to 1.6.0-beta. I am currently using 1.5.3.

Answer 1

Visual Studio 2017 version 15.3<=:

1. Right click on the project node in Solution Explorer
2. Click Properties
3. Go to the TypeScript Build tab
4. Change TypeScript version to the desired version or "use latest available" to always default to the newest version installed

Visual Studio 2017 version 15.2>=:

1. From the top menu bar, open Tools > Options > Text Editor > JavaScript/TypeScript > IntelliSense

2. Change Use TypeScript version to your desired version

I had a problem when updating that the version did not fall through. Fixed it by setting a lower version, shut down Visual Studio and then set the newer version. This fixed the problem.
