Okay second issue I have come across with TypeScript is that even though you can get TypeScript to build your JavaScript files during the build process whist using Visual Studio, when you come to publish the project the JavaScript files are no longer there….!

Why?

Well it is quite simple the Project file does not know about them, so all you need to do is add them to your Project file.

One thing worth mentioning here is why don’t you add the JavaScript files directly from Visual Studio?  Well you can but when and I am sure you are using a Source Control the JavaScript files will be locked, and if they are locked you won’t be able to get TypeScript to build your files a post compile.

Quite a simple solution, and one that works.
