Cannot perform Skeleton tracking in kinect

Question

I'm new to kinect development and was using a skelton tracking example from the book "Beginning Kinect Programming with the Microsoft Kinect SDK". For some reason all the frames that I get in the SkeletonFrameReady event handler are null.

this is how I enable the skeleton stream

this._KinectDevice.SkeletonStream.Enable();
this._FrameSkeletons = new Skeleton[this._KinectDevice.SkeletonStream.FrameSkeletonArrayLength];
this._KinectDevice.SkeletonFrameReady += KinectDevice_SkeletonFrameReady;
this._KinectDevice.Start();

Here I check for skeleton frame

private void KinectDevice_SkeletonFrameReady(object sender, SkeletonFrameReadyEventArgs e)
        {
            using (SkeletonFrame frame = e.OpenSkeletonFrame())
            { 
             ...//use frame data
            }
        }

On debugging I see that the frame returned is always null. Can anyone help with what I'm doing incorrectly. The skeleton viewer sample in the SDK works just fine.

Sorry. The app was workign fine. Just needed to increase the size of the Grid element to accomodate the skeleton
