How can I have TypeScript build only on save in Visual Studio

When I build the project, it is redundantly building script event though I have script compiling on run/debug. Is there a way to make it only build on save?

You can set the build type to none and saving the .ts file will still build the .js file. However, the .js file does not get checked in to TFS so when someone gets the project, they would have to open and save every file. This seems to be another issue.

If you have installed Web Essentials 2012 extension it is very easy.

In Visual Studio go to Tools -> Options -> Select Web Essentials, Under the TypeScript set "Compile TypeScript on Save" to True
