How to work with Ionic 2 in Visual Studio 2015?

I created a ionic starter project following Ionic V2 Guide . It also works perfectly with ionic serve from CLI.

However, when I load it as an existing cordova app project in Visual Studio 15, I get following errors at runtime:

angular2-polyfills.js:916 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property XMLHttpRequest of [object Object] which has only a getter

decorators.ts:245Uncaught reflect-metadata shim is required when using class decorators

I just shifted back to Ionic-1. Apparently, it is too much to learn (Angular 2 and Ionic 2) in very less time for production release.

Did anyone find on this?
