XBoxController

Using the Vortice.Windows nuget, see https://github.com/amerkoleci/Vortice.Windows for more examples.

How to use

using Vortice.XInput;
using MASK;

// Starts a task which periodically look for newly connected controllers.
XBoxControllerPoller.StartPolling();

// Somewhere in your game/app:
if (XBoxControllerPoller.xBoxControllers.Count > 0)
{
  // Once a controller has been detected and added by the XBoxControllerPoller, it will always remain. 
  XBoxController controller = XBoxControllerPoller.xBoxControllers[0];
  
  if (controller.Connected)
  {
    if (controller.Update())
    {
      if (controller.JustPressedA)
      {
        // A button pressed.
      }
      
      if (controller.RightTrigger > Gamepad.TriggerThreshold)
      {
        // Using the Vortice.XInput functionality here.
        if (XInput.SetVibration(controller.UserIndex, 0.0f, controller.RightTrigger / 255.0f) == false)
        {
          Console.WriteLine("Device not connected!");
        }
      }
    }
  }
  else
  {
    // Player/User has disconnected the controller. Urge them to reconnect it.
  }
}


// Somewhere in your code during exiting the app you should terminate the polling task.
XBoxControllerPoller.StopPolling();
