I have installed TypeScript (v0.9.1.1) on my Visual Studio 2012 installation but I cannot make it compile my .ts files during build (see screenshots below).
I have already tried a lot of different solutions posted here but none of them worked for me.
Please note that I can create a TypeScript project, the problem is that Visual Studio is not compiling/creating the .js file.

TypeScript is compiled, rather than interpreted like JavaScript, which means errors can be caught before execution; IDEs that perform background incremental compilation can spot such errors during the coding process.
The TypeScript compiler compiles these files and outputs the JavaScript with . js extension by keeping the same file name as the individual input file. The TypeScript compiler also preserves the original file path, hence the . js output file will be generated where the input file was in the directory structure.
As you know, TypeScript files can be compiled using the tsc <file name>. ts command.
Try to introduce error in your typescript file and make a build of the project. Does it show up error pane?
Also the js files are not part of the solution. Do you look for them on disk ?
Also check that your project file has following entries in it. Along the lines more less:
<ItemGroup> <TypeScriptCompile Include="app.ts" /> </ItemGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'"> <TypeScriptTarget>ES3</TypeScriptTarget> <TypeScriptRemoveComments>false</TypeScriptRemoveComments> <TypeScriptSourceMap>true</TypeScriptSourceMap> <TypeScriptModuleKind>AMD</TypeScriptModuleKind> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release'"> <TypeScriptTarget>ES3</TypeScriptTarget> <TypeScriptRemoveComments>true</TypeScriptRemoveComments> <TypeScriptSourceMap>false</TypeScriptSourceMap> <TypeScriptModuleKind>AMD</TypeScriptModuleKind> </PropertyGroup> <Import Project="$(VSToolsPath)\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.targets" /> If you love us?
