Connecting to the Kinect remotely with the Kinect ServiceSo this week we've learned about the Kinect and how to develop with it, we've read about the updated APIs and even some deployment tips.
Today, let's look at a new Coding4Fun Kinect project and one that could open up some very interesting ways to build awesome apps.

Rob helps us migrate our Beta 2 code to work with v1This wouldn't be a complete "OMG, Kinect for Windows SDK v1 is out" theme week if we didn't cover how to upgrade all your Beta2 projects to v1. Luckily Rob Relyea has us covered with an outstanding code migration series.
If you have, or download, beta 2 based code/project and it doesn't com...

4 days ago@DrWave: Check your references...
I just grabbed the source and opened "KinectforWindowsSDKV1\3.Camera Fundamentals\CameraFundamentalsVB" and it loaded and complied for me fine. With the error you're getting I'd check your references.
My references auto resolved to "C:\Users\Greg\Desktop\KinectforWindowsSDKV1\KinectforWindowsSDKV1\Dependencies\KinectWpfViewers\bin\Release\Microsoft.Samples.Kinect.WpfViewers.dll"
To check references, I click on the "Show All" in the Solution Explorer toolbar and then expand References item. Make sure all appear the same, are not marked as unfound, etc.
If your references are right, if VS can find the DLL via the references, you shouldn't have to touch the WPF at all

5 days ago@DrWave:That DLL should be able to be found in %KINECTSDK10_DIR%\samples\bin\ which in my case resolved to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Kinect\v1.0\samples\bin\
Of course our first Kinect for Windows SDK Project has to involve a Light Saber!

From my seat, I'd suggest C#, as there are more examples and samples for it. To learn C#, check out, http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C-Sharp-Fundamentals-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners
That said, VB.Net is fully supported and viable for the Kinect and there's more samples and examples on the way. To get going with VB.Net, check out, http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Visual-Basic-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners
Another nice learning/training resource is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/VS2010TrainingCourse
Hope this helps.

Feb 04, 2012 at 8:11 AM@nigelgos:Yep, this was written in the Beta 1 time frame. I know he's got an updated version that should be available online soon, but in the mean time check out, http://robrelyea.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/k4w-code-migration-from-beta2-to-v1-0-managed/, which will help in the migration of code from the Beta to the RTM of the SDK
