Just add a reference to the COM DLL on your project by going through Project/Add Reference, COM tab. After adding, you'll find on the Solutio Explorer that an *.Interop.Dll is created.

The interop DLL is a .NET assembly, and is used much like how you use the System.dll assembly of .NET, with all the .NET classes and enums. It's basically a .NET wrapper that does the marshalling of data as you consume the COM objects.

So, what you will really need is a good documentation on BITS. But if you still need an in-depth material about interops, just google "COM interop .net".
