Angular2 ngSwitch not working

Question

I have an ngSwitch for a model attribute bound to a drop-down. It wasn't working, so I tried to simply hard-code the value. Still doesn't work, it displays both divs. What am I doing wrong? Apologies in advance if it's something obvious, I'm new to Angular2.

My html template:

      <!-- display closed date if status is closed, otherwise display active date -->
      <div ngSwitch="ACTV">
          <div class="form-group row" ngSwitchWhen="CLSD">
            <label for="closeDt" class="col-md-4 form-control-label text-md-right">
                                        Close Date
                                        <span class="help-block">Required field</span>
                                    </label>
            <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-12">
              <datetime [timepicker]="false" [(ngModel)]="date2" id="close-date" name="close-date"></datetime>
            </div>
          </div>
          <div class="form-group row" ngSwitchWhen="ACTV">
            <label for="issueDt" class="col-md-4 form-control-label text-md-right">
                                        Active Date
                                        <span class="help-block">Required field</span>
                                    </label>
            <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-12">
              <datetime [timepicker]="false" [(ngModel)]="date2" id="active-date" name="active-date"></datetime>
            </div>
          </div>
      </div>

Result on the npm server:

Change,

1)

ngSwitch="ACTV"        TO     [ngSwitch]="'ACTV'"

2)

ngSwitchWhen="CLSD"    TO     *ngSwitchCase="'CLSD'"

3)

ngSwitchWhen="ACTV"    To     *ngSwitchCase="'ACTV'"

What version of angular2 are you using? In the final (release) version the syntax that works for me is:

<div [ngSwitch]="someVariable">
  <div *ngSwitchCase="value1">...</div>
  <div *ngSwitchCase="value2">...</div>
</div>
