C++ or C#: Reading commands from a Human Interface Device(HID)

Question

I have this game controller pad and I need to read it's commands for another project I'm working on.

Question is: Are there any sort of libraries for C++ or C# that can communicate with HIDs as there are for Serial Ports?

Any sample code would also be very much appreciated.
