A WPF desktop application for managing employee vacation days, allowing HR or managers to add, edit, and delete vacation records while ensuring no more than the allocated days are used as well as additional checks on date/date range validity, as per Task requirements.
- Track employees’ remaining and used vacation days.
- Schedule, edit, and delete vacation days.
- Integrated validations to prevent exceeding allotted vacation days.
- Uses SQLite for persistent, local storage.
- Uses MVVM pattern.
- Uses ICommands in conjunction with Custom RelayCommand implementation.
EmployeeListViewModelis injected via dependency injection (DI) for the Main View, as it requires a consistent, DI-managed database context, unlike other ViewModels that depend on user-selected data.
The application relies on the following libraries:
- MaterialDesignInXAML: For a clean UI experience.
- Entity Framework Core (EF Core): For SQLite database access and ORM capabilities.
- SQLite: For persistent storage.
- Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection & Hosting: For DI setup and application lifecycle management.
- The SQLite database is located at
AppData/vacationManager.dband is copied to the output directory on build. - The application uses a relative path, so no additional configuration is required.
- Initial seed will contain 3 users, if you wish to add more, specify them in
Data/VacationManagerContext.cs - Initial seed contains no Vacations
- Built with JetBrains Rider 2024
- This project is built on .NET 6, which is not natively supported by Visual Studio 2019. To run and develop this application, you’ll need Visual Studio 2022 or a compatible IDE such as JetBrains Rider. Visual Studio 2019 only supports up to .NET 5, so attempting to load or build this project in Visual Studio 2019 may lead to compatibility issues.
- I have taken the liberty of modifying the UI a little, Windows do not look exactly the same as in the Task Description. Hope that's okay! :)
