There is not much available. The best document I have seen is one by 
Francois Margot.  If you download the Bcp project, it is located at

Bcp/examples/BAC/bac-1.2.2.pdf

If you want a pre-built Visual Studio project file for an example using 
BCP download

http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/OS/OS-2.0-VisualStudio.zip

You will see a folder

MSVisualStudioOSExamples/branchCutPrice

with a Visual Studio project file. Also numerous other COIN-OR solver 
examples. See also the documentation

http://www.coin-or.org/OS/doc/visualstudio.pdf

Good luck!
