How to implement Ads in Desktop Application built with WPF or Windows Forms?

Question

I would like to implement like as it comes in Utorrent/Skype.

I looked forward to lot of options. Here is the list:

• Google Adsense
• Microsoft Pub Center
• Desktopad -- Communicated with them and got the answer that it is only for Windows Store Apps.
• Bing Ads -- Not sure whether this will work or not. But I don't have any one to provide ads in my application. I need any Ad-Network company to send Ads in an application. So i don't think Bing Ads will work for me.
• Smaato Ads

Thought of using Google Adsense by implementing in Website and fetching in application. But after referring one of the article listed below -- I came to know that they might block an account. So ignored that idea, as this is not the correct approach.

Referred Links -

Advertise in WPF application?

Also referred lot of other links via Stack Overflow and other mediums. But none of it helped me in getting this done.

Few questions which comes to me -

• How Utorrent and Skype provide Ads? -- These are also desktop applications.
• Which Ad-Network they use?

Diatribe

I'm quite sure that Skype uses its own ad network provided by Microsoft itself – Stubborn

Just in case someone is finding the question:

At least for google there are APIs: https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-dotnet

Probably the other ad providers also have similar APIs.
