tsconfig.json does not work with VS 2015

[OnurGumus]

I am trying to give options to typescript namely trying tell how to load modules from VS. For new ASP.NET 5 templates this option simply not available, worse typescript 1.5 does not honor tsconfig.json either so what should I do ?

tsconfig.json files are not currently working in VS2015. It's something @paulvanbrenk is working on.

Any work around for the time being? I need to specify modules to AMD.

[paulvanbrenk]

No guaranteed workaround, you can try adding a TypeScriptModuleKind element to a propertygroup, with amd or commonjs specified.. not sure if that gets correctly communicated to the compiler.

Thanks that seems to work.

+1 for this to work in VS2015 RC without workarounds.
I really enjoy the experience from VS Code

This will work in the final release of VS 2015.

Updating the label to suggestion as this is not a bug level change; this does not change the plan of shipping this in the next public VS release.

Checked in the code to enable this scenario in VS 2015
