Update log file naming convention in NLog config

The `logFileNamePrefix` variable in the `NLog` configuration was updated to use a period (`.`) instead of a hyphen (`-`) as the separator between the date and the application name. Old format: `${shortdate}-Rec.API.Web` New format: `${shortdate}.Rec.API` This change aligns the log file naming convention with a new standard or improves consistency across file naming practices.
Enhance logging and refactor app startup

Old format: `${shortdate}-Rec.API.Web` New format: `${shortdate}.Rec.API` This change aligns the log file naming convention with a new standard or improves consistency across file naming practices.	2025-12-05 10:32:11 +01:00
TekH	3764fdaf01	Enhance logging and refactor app startup - Integrated `NLog` for improved logging capabilities. - Added a logger instance and initialized logging with `NLog`. - Wrapped app setup in a `try-catch` block to handle startup exceptions. - Configured logging to use `NLog` in non-development environments. - Refactored service registration for better organization. - Retained key configurations for `AddRecServices` and `AddRecInfrastructure`. - Reorganized middleware pipeline setup for clarity. - Added exception logging during startup to improve debugging.	2025-12-05 10:27:37 +01:00
TekH	5e7287bf86	Update copyright and add NLog dependencies Updated the copyright year to 2025 for "Digital Data GmbH." Added `NLog` (v5.2.5) and `NLog.Web.AspNetCore` (v5.3.0) package references to introduce logging capabilities. No functional changes were made to the `Swashbuckle.AspNetCore` package reference, though it was reformatted slightly.	2025-12-05 10:00:58 +01:00
TekH	9992086e48	Add NLog configuration and minor property updates Added a new NLog configuration section in `appsettings.json` to enable structured logging. This includes settings for log file storage, log targets for different levels (Info, Warn, Error, Fatal), and retention policies. Added the `NLog` property to the configuration. Introduced a new `AddedWho` property with the value `ReC.API`. Removed and re-added the `FakeProfileId` property without changing its value. No changes were made to `LuckyPennySoftwareLicenseKey` or `RecAction` sections.	2025-12-05 09:58:05 +01:00
TekH	40019bf693	Update build package path for dynamic versioning The `<DesktopBuildPackageLocation>` property in `IISProfile.pubxml` was updated to remove the hardcoded `net8` subdirectory. The path now dynamically uses the `$(Version)` variable directly under the `API` directory, improving flexibility and reducing the need for manual updates when versions change.	2025-12-05 09:37:47 +01:00
TekH	4b9e577d41	Add IIS publish profile configuration Added an XML declaration and structured the IIS publish profile with a `<Project>` root element and a `<PropertyGroup>` containing key properties for web publishing. Configured the publish method as `Package`, set the build configuration to `Release`, and specified the IIS deployment path. Included settings for packaging as a single file and defined the build package location with a version placeholder.	2025-12-05 09:35:45 +01:00
TekH	4e6cb20dc2	Add metadata for NuGet packaging in ReC.API.csproj Enhanced the project file (`ReC.API.csproj`) with metadata to prepare the package for distribution. Added properties such as `PackageId`, `Authors`, `Company`, `Product`, `PackageIcon`, `PackageTags`, `Version`, `AssemblyVersion`, `FileVersion`, `InformationalVersion`, and `Copyright`. These changes ensure the package contains detailed information for consumers and aligns with NuGet standards.	2025-12-05 09:29:58 +01:00
