Visualstudio-docs: Which version of TypeScript is used?

[ericmutta]

When you enable the "Compile On Save" option the IDE will generate JavaScript code from any TypeScript files you have in the project (this is really handy by the way). However, what version of TypeScript is used? I have four different versions under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript. Which one does the IDE use?

Might have some doc impact. I'll look at it.

@WilliamAntonRohm / @Mikejo5000 many thanks for following up on this. I can confirm that the IDE uses the latest version of TypeScript installed for "Compile On Save". It would be handy if the docs said something to that effect :+1:

Updating doc. Thanks!
