Configuring the Application

Before running the project, you may need to update some configuration settings in appsettings.json or the launch profile.

1. Update appsettings.json:

   Located in the root of the project, this file contains essential configurations like database connection strings, logging, and environment-specific settings.

2. Update Launch Profile (Optional):

   The launch settings can be found in the Properties/launchSettings.json file. This file defines profiles for how the application runs, such as ports, environment variables, and settings.
