This is a modification to the work done by Paul Stubbs. (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/pstubbs/archive/2006/02/13/531008.aspx) When trying to use his sample code, I found out that the DirectX API no longer supported the APIs that were called by his application. I modified this so I could use my Xbox 360 remote as a controller for a robotics project.
I have fixed this by using SlimDX APIs, and updated his code package to Visual Studio 2010 format.
To run this App, you will need:
1) Visual C# compiler
2) Xbox 360 Controller (wired or wireless w/ PC adapter) (http://www.amazon.ca/Xbox-360-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver/dp/B000HZFCT2)
3) SlimDX SDK (http://slimdx.org/download.php)
