We are going to follow the preceding steps to create the Face API application

1. Create the Face API in portal, and get the key, end point URI if you select location as Southeast Asia
2. Create a WPF application
3. Drag Image, Button controls from the Toolbox, and apply the needed settings.
4. Write the code for loading the image to our image control
5. Write the code for detecting the faces count
6. Write the code for drawing the rectangles in faces

#3 Drag Image, Button controls from the Toolbox, and apply the needed settings

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:AzureCognitiveServiceFaceAPI"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="430">




```

#4 Write the code for loading the image to our image control

```var openFrame = new Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog { Filter = "JPEG Image(*.jpg)|*.jpg" };
var result = openFrame.ShowDialog(this);
if (!(bool)result)
return;
var filePath = openFrame.FileName;
var fileUri = new Uri(filePath);
var bitMapSource = new BitmapImage();
bitMapSource.BeginInit();
bitMapSource.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.None;
bitMapSource.UriSource = fileUri;
bitMapSource.EndInit();
FaceImage.Source = bitMapSource;```

#5 Write the code for detecting the faces count

```private readonly IFaceServiceClient _faceServiceClient = new FaceServiceClient("key", "end point");
private async Task DetectTheFaces(string filePath)
{
try
{
using (var imgStream = File.OpenRead(filePath))
{
var faces = await _faceServiceClient.DetectAsync(imgStream);
var faceRectangles = faces.Select(face => face.FaceRectangle);
return faceRectangles.ToArray();
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e);
throw;
}

}

Title = "Detecting....";
FaceRectangle[] facesFound = await DetectTheFaces(filePath);
Title = $"Found {facesFound.Length} faces";```


#6 Write the code for drawing the rectangles in faces

```if (facesFound.Length <= 0) return;
var drwVisual = new DrawingVisual();
var drwContext = drwVisual.RenderOpen();
drwContext.DrawImage(bitMapSource, new Rect(0, 0, bitMapSource.Width, bitMapSource.Height));
var dpi = bitMapSource.DpiX;
var resizeFactor = 96 / dpi;
foreach (var faceRect in facesFound)
{
drwContext.DrawRectangle(Brushes.Transparent, new Pen(Brushes.Blue, 6),
new Rect(faceRect.Left * resizeFactor, faceRect.Top * resizeFactor, faceRect.Width * resizeFactor,
faceRect.Height * resizeFactor));
}
drwContext.Close();
var renderToImageCtrl = new RenderTargetBitmap((int)(bitMapSource.PixelWidth * resizeFactor), (int)(bitMapSource.PixelHeight * resizeFactor), 96, 96, PixelFormats.Pbgra32);
renderToImageCtrl.Render(drwVisual);
FaceImage.Source = renderToImageCtrl;```
