Google for

"c#" "directshow filter"

(in the web and in the usenet ("groups"))

There are some results.

In general, there is *no* managed DirectShow support from MSFT. DirectShow
has even been removed from the DX SDK back in April 2005 and is now part of
the Platform SDK. C++ is strongly recommended to write DShow filters, though
you might find (rare) information in the internet on how to do it in C#.

The DirectShowLib library on sourceforge has some examples of creating
direct show filters. Be warned though, it is not possible to write
filters in managed code and so you will need to write them in C++.
