DirectShow in C#

Hi there,
I'm making a video player to explore DirectX SDK. I noticed that the DirectShow functionalities are not accessible in C#.
Anyone can explain me how do do custom transitions with movies? Something like apply a fade in fade out for each movie in my playlist?
Just by the way, why is not DirectShow available in C#?
Cheers

I havn't done much at all with directshow, but you might want to check out the following two sites.

The first is a link to Lime green socks, where there are a heap of samples. And the second is a link to a sourceforge project, that is a wrapper for directshow for c#.
