There was another repository that was utilised during the creation of this app, where we constructed proof of concepts before integrating them into our project. Please see the following repositories:

• https://github.com/aak2510/AppointmentManagementSystemPOC.git

Assumptions

• Application runs off of local system time (this impacts the auto-deletion of expired appointments).
• SMS is sent to a text file SmsLog.txt in the project directory.

Start-up guide

Upon downloading the application, you will need to run two commands within the Package Manager Console:

• update-database -Context AccountDbContext
• update-database -Context AppointmentDbContext

After doing this, the application should open without issue. There are some initial accounts seeded into the database upon initialization.

• Password: Secure@1
