Remarks
This method provides the implementation for each game controller class's FromGameController method. A class's FromGameController method allows you to pass in an instance of one game controller class, and get an object from another game controller class that references the same underlying device. For example, if you have an ArcadeStick and you want to get a RawGameController representation of that same underlying controller, you would call RawGameController.FromGameController, passing in the ArcadeStick (which you can do, since the method takes an IGameController object, and ArcadeStick inherits from IGameController). Your custom game controller classes must also inherit from IGameController.
Since each game controller class implements ICustomGameControllerFactory (including your own custom classes), you can pass the factory for the game controller class that you want into GameControllerFactoryManager.TryGetFactoryControllerFromGameController, and then the GameControllerFactoryManager can try to return an object of that class that references the same underlying device as the game controller that you specified.
