'Decrypt using RSA private key using windows crypto api

I have a RSA private key in xml format.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<RSAParameters xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <Exponent>....</Exponent>

    <InverseQ>....</InverseQ>
    <D>....</D>
</RSAParameters>

I have to decrypt some data in C++. I want to use Windows Crypto API in C++. I am new into C++ and crypto. Cannot find any good sample code for this. I am finding MSDN documentation a bit not for beginners. All I need is a set of library functions to read my private key from XML and decrypt some data. In C#, it is very straightforward. Don't understand why so complicated in C++. Can anyone help me with the steps or sample codes or some beginner level resources for this.
