Microchip provides the MPLAB C18 compiler for the PIC18F4550. The Microchip Applications Library includes a mass-storage device example:

If your device is mass storage, use the File class to access it.

For HIDs, I have Visual Basic example code here:

and for WinUSB devices, here:

For HIDs and WinUSB, accessing a device is more complicated than just reading and writing to port addresses. The application has to find the device, open a handle, and jump through a few hoops before it can start exchanging data. The other links on my pages can help in understanding how the code works.
