How to read from serial port?

[elzqsp]

Hello everyone,

I'm relatively new to C++ but currently I need to read/write from a connected arduino board USB serial port using Visual Studio 2008, anyone know if that is possible and any help would be much appreciated! Programs other than Visual Studio 2008, such as MATLAB are fine too.

Thank You.
