title: Add a TypeScript file to a non-TypeScript project in Visual Studio 2012?
body: <p>Is it possible to add a TypeScript file to a non-TypeScript project in Visual Studio 2012? I have the latest (0.8.3.1) version of TypeScript installed along with Web Essentials 2012. If I create a new TypeScript project in VS and add a new item, the TypeScript file template comes up. However, if I try to add a new item in any other project type (web site, whatever) the TypeScript template is not an option.</p>
  
  <p>A workaround is just to add any type of file and rename it manually to *.ts, however, you then lose the ability to nest your generated .js file within the .ts file in Visual Studio (which can be important if you have a lot of .ts files!).</p>
