I have a Windows form program (think something like Paint.NET) that I want to port into a web client side applicaton.

I have started playing with knockout.js and it seems it might (not totally sure though) be able to do the work. Then I hear about TypeScript. From the descrption, it says it is for "application scale Javascript development". I don't have the resources to invest in evaluating both.

Is knockout.js or TypeScript a better choice? Or are they not comparable?

Thanks.

TypeScript is a language which compiles to javascript, Knockout is a MVVM javasript library to help you organize your client side code. They can work together.

+1 you can write your program in TypeScript and use Knockout, Backbone, jQuery, Angular or any other JavaScript library or framework.
more information about how to combine them here. Typescript provides static typing which is always nice when learning a new library/framework. You don't need much time to start with it, you can get an idea on their website
