Real Estate Management App (WPF, C#/.NET)

Overview

This project is a Real Estate Management Application built using WPF, C#, and .NET. It demonstrates core concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), dynamic binding, generics, serialization, and data management using Entity Framework and LINQ.
(Currently a very basic UI implementation)

Key Features

  Interface IEstate and abstract class Estate
  Abstract classes: Residential, Commercial, Institutional
  Use of dynamic binding for runtime object creation

• Data Management

  Generic IListManager<T> interface and ListManager<T> implementation (possible to use in other projects)
  EstateManager inherits ListManager<T>

• Persistence

  JSON and XML serialization

• Architecture

  Multi-layer architecture: PL (Presentation Layer), BLL (Business Logic Layer), DAL (Data Access Layer)
