Okay, let's start by setting up the project structure, data models, and the initial Login Form.
We will use Windows Forms and Entity Framework Core with SQL Server.
1. Project Setup and Dependencies:
First, create a new Windows Forms App (.NET) project named Session1.WinForms.
Then, add the necessary NuGet packages:
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServerMicrosoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design (for migrations, if needed later)2. Data Models and DbContext:
We'll define basic models for User, Listing, Amenity, etc., and the DbContext.
Explanation:
User, Listing, Amenity, etc.) that represent the database tables. Added [Required], [MaxLength], and [ForeignKey] attributes for basic validation and relationships.DbContext (AppDbContext). It includes DbSet properties for each model and configures the database connection string (hardcoded for now) and model relationships (like the many-to-many ListingAmenity).AppDbContext.LoginForm class.InitializeComponent method (included in the code).showPasswordCheckBox_CheckedChanged: Toggles password visibility.loginButton_Click: Calls AuthService to authenticate, handles success (opens ManagementForm placeholder) or failure (shows message box), and manages UI state during login. Uses async/await for non-blocking UI.createAccountButton_Click: Opens the RegistrationForm placeholder modally.cancelButton_Click: Closes the form.StartPosition to CenterScreen.CancelButton color to Red.RegistrationForm and ManagementForm so the code compiles.LoginForm.Next Steps:
RegistrationForm with its fields, validation, and user creation logic.ManagementForm with its tabs and basic functionality.ListingForm for adding/editing listings.DbContext instantiation with Dependency Injection.Add-Migration InitialCreate and Update-Database in the Package Manager Console).
