title: What TypeScript version is Visual Studio Code using? How to update it?
body: <p>How can I tell what version of TypeScript is being used in Visual Studio Code?  In particular, I had been using TypeScript 1.8.10 and VSCode 1.4.0.  I first updated VSCode to the latest version, which was 1.5.3.  But checking from the command line, I saw that my TypeScript version was still 1.8.10.  So I updated TypeScript from the command line, and it is now 2.0.3 .</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to tell for sure whether Visual Studio Code is using version 2.0.3?</p>
  
  <p>Is there a method for updating Visual Studio Code that will automatically update TypeScript to the latest released version, or does the TypeScript update have to be done independently?</p>
