I found this answer but I'm using SlimDX and the answer is using DirectX:
Maybe I should install the directx sdk ? If so from where to download it ?
What I did so far with my code using slimdx is:
The problem is that the Effect class in SlimDX is not the same Effect class in Directx. So i can't use the answer in the link since all the properties of the Effect in DirectX not exist in SlimDX Effect.
My goal is to send commands automatic to the joystick that is connected to my pc usb. Commands i mean like a button was pressed effect for example the square button or the triangle button or the circle or the X and the other buttons too.

Update
I tried also to use the SharpDX but i'm getting errors and not sure how to get on with it. First thing i tried to List the joysticks that are connected to my pc but getting errors. Later on i want to do my main goal:
My goal is to send commands automatic to the joystick that is connected to my pc usb. Commands i mean like a button was pressed effect for example the square button or the triangle button or the circle or the X and the other buttons too.
But i guess this code is not even the right way to start with.

using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

using SharpDX.DirectInput;

{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
DirectInput input = new DirectInput();
Joystick stick;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
List<Joystick> sticks = new List<Joystick>();
foreach (DeviceInstance device in input.GetDevices
(DeviceClass.GameControl,DeviceEnumerationFlags.AttachedOnly))
{
stick = new Joystick(input, device.InstanceGuid);
stick.Acquire();
foreach (DeviceObjectInstance deviceObject in stick.GetObjects())
{
if ((deviceObject.ObjectType & ObjectDeviceType.Axis) != 0)
{
stick.GetObjectPropertiesById(deviceObject.ObjectType).SetRange(-100, 100);
}
}
sticks.Add(stick);
}
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
