How overall application works:

The application makes use of ASP.NET MVC 5 and Angular architecture.

When angular application is built, it's generated output files are placed inside "Script" folder in MVC project.

When MVC project runs, it launches it's index view.

Inside index view "app-root" component (Basic building block of angular application)is rendered, which makes Angular application run inside the MVC view.

Every time, application starts, it doest start the Angular application along.
