Provide a dashboard to view property information and transaction history. REST API for CRUD operations on properties and contacts. Professional UI for property and contact management.

Technologies ASP.NET Core 6, Entity Framework Core, SQL Server, MVC Razor for UI, RESTful API, Visual Studio 2022.

Prerequisites Visual Studio 2022, .NET 6 SDK, SQL Server.

1. Clone the Repository bash Copy code git clone https://github.com/yourusername/PropertyInventorySystem_Testing.git cd property-inventory-system
2. Configure the Database Update the appsettings.json file with your SQL Server connection string.

json Copy code { "ConnectionStrings": { "DefaultConnection": "Server=your_server_name;Database=PropertyInventoryDB;Trusted_Connection=True;" } }

3. Run Database Migrations Open the Package Manager Console and run the following commands: powershell Copy code Add-Migration InitialCreate Update-Database

4. Seed the Database Run the seed script to populate the database with initial data:

powershell Copy code Update-Database -Migration:SeedData

5. Run the Application Press F5 in Visual Studio to build and run the application.

Project Structure 1,Controllers: Contains API controllers for properties and contacts. 2,Models: Entity models for properties, contacts, and sold properties. 3,Data: Database context and configuration for Entity Framework Core. 4,Services: Business logic and service layer. 5,Views: Razor views for UI. 6,wwwroot: Static files for frontend (CSS, JS, images).

API Endpoints

Properties GET /api/properties - Retrieve all properties with pagination and filtering. GET /api/properties/{id} - Retrieve a single property. POST /api/properties - Create a new property. PUT /api/properties/{id} - Update an existing property. DELETE /api/properties/{id} - Delete a property.

UI Design The UI consists of two main pages: Home: The Main Property Dashboard with owner information. Create Property: A form to input property and contact information. Sold Property: A page to view the full history of property ownership and transactions.

Dashboard The dashboard displays a summary of properties, including the latest owner and transaction details. It supports CRUD operations and searching.

Seed Script The seed script initializes the database with a set of sample data to test the application.

Error Handling Comprehensive error handling is implemented in the API controllers and services to ensure robust and user-friendly error messages.
