Create a new project for the smart-house application, based on the MVVM template we created earlier.

With the new project created, add the Microsoft.ProjectOxford.Face NuGet package.

As we will be building this application throughout this book, we will start small. In the MainView.xaml file, add a TabControl property containing two items. The two items should be two user controls, one called the AdministrationView.xaml file and the other called the HomeView.xaml file.

The administration control will be where we administer different parts of the application. The home control will be the starting point and the main control to use.

Add corresponding ViewModel instances to the Views. Make sure they are declared and created in MainViewModel.cs, as we have seen throughout this chapter. Make sure that the application compiles and runs before moving on.
