I’ve added file1.ts and I can see there’s a dependent to it – namely file1.js.

I notice that any changes I made to file1.ts – file1.js doesn’t get automatically re-generated.

The only workaround I have at the moment is by calling tsc.exe – as part of pre-build event.

My question is – are there any better workaround or maybe a setting somewhere I might’ve missed ?

Install the Web Essentials 2012 extension in Visual Studio 2012.

It will re-generate the .js file on every save of the .ts file.
