Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/DimitarTashkov/Dentora.git
cd Dentora

2. Configure the database connection

Open Models/DbConfiguration/Configuration.cs and update the connection string to match your SQL Server instance:

public static string ConnectionString =
    "Data Source=YOUR_SERVER;Initial Catalog=DentoraDb;Integrated Security=True;" +
    "Connect Timeout=30;Encrypt=True;Trust Server Certificate=True;";

3. Apply database migrations

Open the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio and run:

Update-Database

This will create the database schema and seed a default admin user.

4. Build and run

Open Dentora.sln in Visual Studio, build the solution (Ctrl+Shift+B), and run (F5).
