Do what benjgorman said, if your using an xbox kinect, it will still work with the new sdk. You can get it here. The code feels a bit different from the older programs, but you’ll get used to it pretty fast. You can get the tutorials i used from here, or use the code i provided, make sure that you add the sources Microsoft.Kinect and add the project from the kinect explorer(you download that via the sdk) Microsoft.Samples.Kinect.WpfViewers and then add that as a source. I would reccomend watching the tutorials as they explain the classes and what you need in the SDK

        {
            if (colorFrame == null)
            {
                return;
            }

            byte[] pixels = new byte[colorFrame.PixelDataLength];
            colorFrame.CopyPixelDataTo(pixels);

            int stride = colorFrame.Width * 4;
            video.Source = BitmapSource.Create(
                colorFrame.Width, colorFrame.Height, 96, 96, 
                PixelFormats.Bgr32, null, pixels, stride);
         }
       }

Hope this helps.
