Are there any C# facial recognition libraries that work?

Question

Are there any C# facial recognition libraries that work? I would like to locate people in my data base by having them stare in a camera :-). This is not used for security or authentication just to help with a quick lookup so if it is good enough to narrow down a list of people that would be a win.

i was going to suggest opencv but it doesn't look as though it supports c# — PurplePilot, Oct 20 '10 at 13:06
See my answer below; emgu cv is a C# wrapper for opencv, and quite good in my experience. — AndrewS, Oct 20 '10 at 13:17

You can look into Microsoft's Face API:

This is why I ended up here. First, find an offline detection library, if face is found, then send it to Azure. Saves me transactions per month! – DannyThunder Jan 31 '18 at 09:53
@DannyThunder Which offline detection library you have used. I want to do the same – Moble Joseph May 06 '19 at 08:00
