Targeting ES5 with TypeScript in Visual Studio

Question

I would like to use get/set syntax in TypeScript within Visual Studio Express for Web. How do I enable this. I currently get this error when compiling;

Answer 1

This has changed with TypeScript 0.8.2. You now change TypeScriptTarget in the .csproj file from:

ES3

to

ES5

MyApp.csproj:

  
    ES5
    true
    true
    AMD
  

  
    ES5
    false
    false
    AMD
