Among them is \"after build\" and \"before build\".  After build works great, but it has the odd issue of VS doing its own compilation step of the TypeScript followed by grunt-ts calling tsc.  This doesn't seem to be an issue except for performance (the work VS is doing to compile and emit is wasted effort and the developer has to wait longer for the desired result).\r\n\r\nI'm wondering what the best way would be for us to turn off *only* the compile/emit in Visual Studio for TypeScript, but keep everything else the same (language service/syntax highlighting, errors list, C# or VB building, etc).  Is this even currently possible?  If not, could it be?\r\n\r\nThanks!"}}
