Question

My error is CS0143, The type ‘Microsoft.Kinect.KinectSensor’ has no constructors defined

I checked other questions similar to this but did not understand the answers they gave. Essentially the class I am writing is just an initializer for the kinectSenor.

Any help would be great…thank you!

public class KinectInitialize 
{

    KinectSensor _kinectSensor = new KinectSensor();

    #region Constructors
    public KinectInitialize()
    {

    }
    #endregion

    #region Methods
    void SetAllFramesReady(KinectSensor Kinect)
    {
        Kinect.AllFramesReady += new EventHandler<AllFramesReadyEventArgs>(Kinect_AllFramesReady);
    }

    internal void RemoveOldSensor(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        _kinectSensor = (KinectSensor)e.OldValue;
        StopKinect(_kinectSensor);
    }

    public KinectSensor CreateNewSensor(DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        _kinectSensor = (KinectSensor)e.NewValue;

        return _kinectSensor;
    }

    internal void StopKinect(KinectSensor sensor)
    {
        if (sensor != null)
        {
            sensor.Stop();
            sensor.AudioSource.Stop();
        }
    }
    #endregion

There is no public constructor on the Kinect class – there is however a public static collection KinectSensors from which you can just grab the first one in status Connected:

KinectSensor sensor = KinectSensor.KinectSensors
                                  .FirstOrDefault(s => s.Status == KinectStatus.Connected);

I assume this is done for convenience because you can have more than one Kinect attached to your machine.
