  i get this when i try yours dczraptor
  Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'float' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast )
  
  idk here is the code:
  
  PlayerX += GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Triggers.Right * (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds;

  Don't do both of these at once; i'm just showing how you would use either one.

  Vector2 position;

  public override void Update(GameTime gameTime)

  {

  // make the guy move in the +X direction based on how much the right trigger is pressed

  position.X += GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Triggers.Right * (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds;

  // make the guy move based on the joystick. 1 unit per second.

  position += GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Thumbsticks.Left * (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds;

  }

  For joystick, you can do

  Vector2 leftStick = GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).ThumbSticks.Left;

  where leftStick.X is the horizontal movement of the stick, and leftStick.Y is the vertical movement.

  For the triggers,

  float rTrigger = GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Triggers.Right;

  rTigger will be a value from 0.0 to 1.0. 0.0 means the button is not being pressed, 1.0 means the trigger is being pressed all the way down. Any value in between corresponds to a level of press.

  In the XNA Game Studio Express Documentation there is some simple tutorials on Going Beyond: Game Studio Express in 3d, inside this section if you follow the tutorials it goes through displaying a model on the screen and moving it using your controller. You should be able to see how it is used in those examples. Also if you are having trouble with the tutorials there are some video versions that you can watch on the XNA Home page.

  so then you would just put that code into an if statement, or something. Could u show me an example of pullting the trigger to make a guy move, like if(....) then do ..., or event the joysitcks

  Nvrmnd got it to work, it was because i didn't have a vector2 for my positon
  
  but would i have to do the same for the right trigger, to see if it is pulled, like if i wanted to make something fire by using the right trigger.
