help with input program

[MIdas0036]

ok so from my last post i need to make a program that will read input buffers from a controller but i don't know how can anyone help me

What language are you using, and what kind of port is the controller connecting with?

There's no generic solution that applies to every language, nor any that applies to every kind of port. And if it's a common language or common port, just Google it. Chances are that asking the same question again won't get any better answers than the first time.

Edit: I'll assume you're writing in VB .NET, since that's the forum this is under (missed that the first time because I'm a spaz).

Mhm. And which port are you plugging it into?

If you're talking wireless then you'll have to find out exactly how the controller talks to the xbox (ie what technology it uses - bluetooth, wifi, whatever).

You could try: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323594 , though that may be a little too advanced (I'm having a hard time reading it).
