Typescript Support for Visual Studio 2017

Question

I have recently been trying to learn TypeScript, and in some of the videos I have been watching after installing the \'Web Essentials\' extension when working with a .ts fil

Answer 1

I have installed web essentials 2017, but not sure if that is mandatory. The question is how to open two files side by side in VS 2017; specifically a typescript and its corresponding js file.

You can open any two files side by side the steps for which are as follows.

First open the two files in question by double clicking them from Solution Explorer.

Next, place your cursor on the highlighted red box show above and drag that Car.js file tab down.

Now you see five small squares, highlighted with red square box. Move your cursor on any of the 4 outer small squares. I am placing my cursor on the right one as shown below.

There you go.

I guess this works without web essentials and is a feature of vs. Let me know if you could do this without having web essentials installed.
