Getting Joystick input in Windows.Forms Project in Visual Studio 2010

[EvanPlett]

I am trying to get input from a joystick. I am using Visual Studio C# Express with a Windows.Forms project. I have tried using DirectInput but have so far been unable to add it to the project. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Just guessing, but maybe installing XNA framework might help. Because they've got classes to handle such inputs since XNA is used for making games.
