I need to read an XML file in XNA 4.0.
What Im doing is I am trying to make a Kinect game in XNA. As drivers I use these http://www.studentgu...y-tracking.aspx Which are pretty simple, and very useful.. However, in order to track a skeleton you need the method Nuitracker (Documentation new Nuitracker(string configuration)), this string configuration is meant to be a XML file. I got the file and all, and first I tried just adding it to the content and loading it by saying new NuiTracker("SampleConfig.XML") That did not work, It complained that it was the wrong format, so in the XML file I added <XnaContent>. Then it complained about assets, So I found a post that said i needed to include this in the file
<Asset Type="Namespace.className"> Then I added that, and it gives me the Error: "There was an error while deserializing intermediate XML. Cannot find type "KinectTest.Game1"
My namespace should be KinectTest, and the class name is the default one when creating a project Game1.
Im not even sure what this error really means, please any help here? I need this badly and urgent for a project.!!
Thanks in advance guys!
