sorry my need is to trigger that entry point in Startup.cs. But its not triggering. — selvakumar, Feb 19 '16 at 06:05
After changing `emitEntryPoint=true` are you still not getting the Main method triggered? — Carbine, Feb 19 '16 at 06:14
yes it is automatically hosted without triggering the entry point. — selvakumar, Feb 19 '16 at 06:26

this link ASP.NET 5 Entry point overview gives the solution to trigger entry point in ASP.NET 5 Web Application. We can trigger the entry point by adding the following line in project.json file.

"commands": {
    "web": "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel",
     "devo": "MyProject --server Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel --server.urls http://0.0.0.0:5001 --ASPNET_ENV Development",
   },

In this code replace MyProject by your project name and select this command in debugging option of visual studio.
