I ran into this problem a while ago myself and probably your visual studio project file is messed up. This can either be because of a Visual Studio bug or because you have used a messed up project file.
I described what fixed it for me in this post.

Visual studio TypeScript error “Cannot compile modules unless the '--module' flag is provided.”
Right click the project and select "properties". Click on the TypeScript page in the project properties and then select your module (I personally recommend commonjs with webpack for frontend/browser or as is for nodejs)
