ARDrone.Net library for the Parrot AR Drone

You must have the DirectX and Windows SDK installed in order to compile this solution file.

A few quick tips to get the app up and running:
- This is a Visual Studio 2010 project using .NET framework 4.0
- You need to download and install Windows SDK, a fresh copy of the DirectX SDK as well as an SDL installation
  - Get DirectX from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/directx/aa937788.aspx
  - Get Windows SDK from http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/aa904949.aspx
  - Get SDL from http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php
- You need to change the directories for Windows SDK and DirectX SDK in the file "ARDroneProperties.props" to your own directories
    <WinSDKDir></WinSDKDir>
    <DXSDKDir></DXSDKDir>
	<SDLDir></SDLDir>
    Link to the main directories where you installed the libraries (no subdirectories needed)
  These should point to the respective folders on your harddrive.
- For the ARDrone JNI bridge project, you will also need to set properties in the properties.props file:
    <JDKDir></JDKDir>
  For this to work, you will need to download and install a JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
  Afterwards, point the JDKDir to the location where you installed the JDK to.
- You need to disable the loader lock exception in Visual Studio (Debug -> Exceptions -> Managed Debugging assistents -> Disable the "Loader lock" checkbox)

Once you have completed these steps, the solution should compile.
