gamepad and C#

[mustafa.rabie@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I have a low end usb double game pad/controller that i use with windows
xp. I want to capture inputs from the game pad to use it as a simple
remote for a windows C# application. I dont want something fancey or
anything.
In windows xp when u go to control panel and click on Game Controller
you can check if the game pad is working right or not, so i think
there's already out of the box APIs in XP for that.

Can someone help me or point me to where to start?

Thanks a lot your help is really appreciated

I just flew in from Chicago with
a man with a wooden leg named Smith
who shot an elephant in my pajamas.
So I bit him.
