I'd be willing to look at your code. If you don't want to post it publicly, PM me.

This should give you a starting place.

        public static Joystick[] GetSticks()
        {
            var sticks = new List<SlimDX.DirectInput.Joystick>();
            foreach (DeviceInstance device in Input.GetDevices(DeviceClass.GameController, DeviceEnumerationFlags.AttachedOnly))
            {
                // create the device
                try
                {
                    var stick = new SlimDX.DirectInput.Joystick(Input, device.InstanceGuid);
                    stick.Acquire();

                    foreach (DeviceObjectInstance deviceObject in stick.GetObjects())
                    {
                        if ((deviceObject.ObjectType & ObjectDeviceType.Axis) != 0)
                            stick.GetObjectPropertiesById((int)deviceObject.ObjectType).SetRange(-1000, 1000);
                    }

                    sticks.Add(stick);

                    Console.WriteLine(stick.Information.InstanceName);
                }
                catch (DirectInputException)
                {
                }
            }
            return sticks.ToArray();
        }
