Detecting Faces within Images Using the .NET SDK

In this hands-on lab, we use Visual Studio and C# to access an already-created Azure Cognitive Service resource and have it identify a face withing an image. All the code is already written. We simply need to configure the service endpoint and key, then run the code to perform the analysis. Feel free to try more images!
