Moderating Images Using the .NET SDK

In this hands-on lab, we use Visual Studio and C# to access a pre-created Azure Cognitive Service resource and have it give us moderation data on several images. This moderation data will include things such as "raciness" and "adultness". 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!
