What code in C# do I need to use for sending a jogging command to a robot in RobotStudio, like in the function Jog Linear where you jog the robot within the  
coordinate system defined by the active tool?

I need this for my project which involves controlling the virtual robot with the help of a Kinect v2. I plan to use it for as when I move my hand to the right, the  
virtual robot will jog to the right as well through its TCP.

Within a C# application, with the use of the PC SDK, you can edit robtargets and thus change positions. Furthermore you can set the program pointer to a specific location and the start Rapid task from your application. As far I know it is not possible to directly move the robot from C# code, but you can implement the movement in Rapid and start this task from your application.
