Is this the one you're talking about? If so, then no, it won't work (for now at least).

The Xbox 360 Controller for Windows is really just a regular Xbox 360 controller packaged with a CD that contains a Windows driver for it. You can download this driver yourself from Microsoft and use your existing 360 controllers instead (if you already have one) on your Windows machine.

It's important to note that none of the Xbox 360 peripherals (including joysticks from other brands, or things like guitars) will work with the DS right now. Microsoft designed the Xbox 360 input devices in such a way that they don't quite conform to the HID standard, which is what normal joysticks use (and the only thing the DS supports).
