State, background work & errors

The background job runner from Module 6 · State, Sessions, Background Work & Errors, as the walkthrough video builds it: Start Import / Start Export, Cancel Job and Clear Log buttons, a progress bar, a status label and a timestamped job log. The job runs with async / await so the page stays responsive, the handler uses try / catch / finally, and the running job is kept in an instance field — per user — never in a static field.

Run it

cd "LearnWisej-Samples/Foundations Course/Module 6/WisejTrainingApp"
dotnet run -f net10.0 --urls http://localhost:5086

Then open http://localhost:5086. (Visual Studio: open WisejTrainingApp.slnx, press F5.)
