Why is the Typescript settings tab missing in my VS 2013 ASP.NET project properties?

Question

I'm trying to migrate some javascript files to Typescript in a legacy ASP.NET MVC 5 project. I I've created a Typescript file and the compilation from TS to JS works as expected, but I there is no "Typescript Build" Tab in my legacy project's properties. I did not have this problem when working on a new ASP.NET MVC 5 project. How can I fix this in my legacy project? I am using Visual Studio 2013 Update 1. Thanks, Adrian

Accepted Answer

I needed to add the following line to the csproj to import the typescript targets:

```
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.targets" Condition="Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.targets')" />
```

Then I could see the typescript build options in the project settings.
