I am getting an error with the following TypeScript code:

 ///<reference path='../../../Shared/typescript/jquery.d.ts' />

 ///<reference path='../../../Shared/typescript/jqueryStatic.d.ts' />



 function accessControls(action: Action) {

    $('#logoutLink')

        .click(function () {

            var $link = $(this);

            window.location = $link.attr('data-href');

        });



 }

I am getting an underlined red error for the following:

$link.attr('data-href');

The message says:

Cannot convert 'string' to 'Location': Type 'String' is missing property 'reload' from type 'Location'

Does anyone know what this means?

window.location is of type Location while .attr('data-href') returns a string, so you have to assign it to window.location.href which is of string type too. For that replace your following line:

window.location = $link.attr('data-href');

for this one:

window.location.href = $link.attr('data-href');
