CastingDevice	Represents a physical device that is capable of supporting casting connections and rendering media content sent to it.
CastingDevicePicker	Represents a device picker that contains a list of casting devices for the user to choose from. In a desktop app, before using an instance of this class in a way that displays UI, you'll need to associate the object with its owner's window handle. For more info, and code examples, see Display WinRT UI objects that depend on CoreWindow.

CastingDeviceSelectedEventArgs	Represents the event arguments for the CastingDeviceSelected event on the CastingDevicePicker object.
CastingSource	Represents the media content that can be sent to another device.
