Using Keyboard in C#

Hi, I'm new on this forum and after reading a while I decided to start. I choose as environment Visual Studio Express 2010 with C# and XNA 4.0, because I thought it's well documented to get better tutorials and so on. I have no programming skills. I have some ressources like microsoft forum and some ebooks like O'Reillys "Learning XNA 4.0". my question is.. to learn the first steps I would try to work with 2d sprites. I have a KeyboardState and my sprite is showing and it works but if I want to use my keyboards, nothing happens. I write this code in the Update method: // this 2 lines are in my class game Vector2 ringsPosition = Vector2.Zero; const float ringsSpeed = 6; // this move threerings based on keyboard input are in my update method KeyboardState keyboardState = Keyboard.GetState(); if (keyboardState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Left)) ringsPosition.X -= ringsSpeed; if (keyboardState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Right)) ringsPosition.X += ringsSpeed; if (keyboardState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Up)) ringsPosition.Y -= ringsSpeed; if (keyboardState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Down)) ringsPosition.Y += ringsSpeed; The Microsoft.XNA.Framework.Input is in using and works. If I start to debug and test, my sprites are animated but nothing happend if I use my keyboard. any ideas? Or did you need the complete code to check what I'm doing wrong? thanks.
