Ministry Meeting Rooms — Government Booking System

Built the meeting-room booking system for a Saudi government ministry on ASP.NET Core 8 with Clean Architecture and CQRS. Staff pick a hall and drag across free slots (30 minutes by default, set per hall) on a week grid that follows working hours and holidays. Private halls send requests to their own approvers, recurring series are approved or rejected as a whole, and every decision goes out as an email carrying a calendar invite that Outlook shows as a meeting request. Sign-in is by an emailed one-time code, invitees are looked up in the ministry's directory (LDAP), bookings made in Outlook are picked up from Exchange, and a smart search recommends the best-fitting hall by headcount and equipment.

Key highlights

• 1

  Week booking grid per hall: slots sized per hall (30 minutes by default) inside working hours, holidays and weekends blocked, booked and pending slots shown, click or drag to select.

• 2

  Approval workflow: public or private halls, each with its own approvers and allowed users; reject with a reason; recurring series accepted or rejected as one.

• 3

  Outlook integration: approval emails carry an iCalendar invite that Outlook shows as a meeting request, and bookings created in Outlook are polled from Exchange (EWS) and synced in.

• 4

  Sign-in with an emailed one-time code, invitees looked up in the directory over LDAP, and role-based permissions (admin, approver, requester, viewer).

• 5

  Smart hall search by headcount, time and required equipment, with the best fit tagged; hall reports exported to Excel.

• 6

  Clean Architecture (Domain, Application, Infrastructure, Web), SQL Server temporal tables for history, background pollers, and four xUnit test projects.
