I download the source only tutorial here. When I run it with connect my Canon 70D, I got the error "Canon Dll's not found" shown below. After clicking OK, the gui appeared but all buttons are grayout on the gui. There is a folder name is 'EDSDKLib' in project folder. I am quite new at using canon SDK and I don't understand why I am getting the error.
What is the reason of that? How can I solve it?

author of the article here. You need to put the DLLs from the Canon SDK into the output folder/beside the created exe file.
You can get those DLLs directly from Canon. They are free but you have to apply for it.
Depending where you are located, you need to go to one of those sites:
- Europe, African and Middle East
- North, Central and South America
- Australia and New Zealand
- India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand
Addition To Johannes Bildstein's answer, After you got the EDSDK files from canon, you need to add the files which are inside the DLL folder, into the 'Debug/bin' folder where your app runs
2020 update: For some time now, it's enough to download the Nuget Package. This will download the dll(s) you need to the following folder:
C:\Users\<username>\.nuget\packages\canon.edsdk\<version>\dll
