Hi @valonsejdini ,
Yes, Axis Joystick SDK can be built using .NET 8.0

Tested with:

Output:

Code:

Program.cs (Same like MinimalApp example 😄 )

using System;
using System.Text;
using AxisJoystickModuleLib;

namespace MinimalApp
{
    class Program
    {
        // This simple program does the minimum required to control an Axis PTZ camera
        // using a joystick. It is assumed that no username or password is required.
        // (It would require the Username and Password properties of the AxisJoystick
        // to be set.)
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Create a AxisJoystickHandler and register all attached joysticks.
            AxisJoystickHandler aHandler = new AxisJoystickHandler();
            int aNbrJoysticks = aHandler.EnumerateJoysticks();
            if (aNbrJoysticks > 0)
            {
                // Get the first found joystick and set the control URL based on
                // the ip of the camera.
                AxisJoystick aJoystick = aHandler.GetJoystick(0);

                System.Console.Write("Enter ip address of camera: ");
                aJoystick.PTZControlURL = "http://" + System.Console.ReadLine() + "/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi";

                // Activate the joystick so that it will start sending commands to
                // the camera.
                aJoystick.Activate();
                System.Console.WriteLine("Activating joystick. Press <RETURN> to exit");
                System.Console.ReadLine();

                // Make sure camera is stopped before exiting.
                aJoystick.DeActivate();
            }
            else
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine("No joysticks attached. Please attach a joystick and restart the application.");
                System.Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
}
