// Details:
// We need to modify the application to ensure that all employees have salary > 0, and a unique EmpNo
// The user should be notified with a meaningful error message if the request is not valid.
// The check should be done in the presentation as well as the business layer.
// Please modify the Create.cshtml file (it contains all the javascript code) to handle the validation logic.
// Question 1: There are several approaches to solve this, what is the best one for a production application? - Validate at both client and server side.
// Question 2: How would you change the application UI design to improve the user interaction? - Changed the input type pf employee number and salary.
