IR Port API example C#/C++

Question

Hi there,

I'm looking for any code sample using the windows IR API.

I want to make a little application, to control a windows based PC from an infrared remote control sending commands to a IR Port, and I'm having some some troubles in finding documentation.

Do you know any opensource code, tutorial, or something to learn about this IR API?

Thanks a lot.
