Signum.TSCBuild

This extension adds a "Build TypeScript" context menu to every .csproj in Solution Explorer. When selected, it runs tsc -b using the tsconfig.json file located in the same project folder.

Unlike the Microsoft.TypeScript.MSBuild NuGet package, which invokes the TypeScript compiler once per project, this approach runs tsc only once.

The result is much faster builds, especially in solutions with many projects containing both C# and TypeScript. This makes it practical for large codebases where build performance is critical. Projects can remain simple C# Class Libraries ("Microsoft.NET.Sdk") instead of requiring ASP.NET projects ("Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web").

This solution does not rely on MSBuild, but it preserves a familiar developer experience:
