VLC remotely control from C#

i'm trying to control the VLC Media Player from C#. I tried getting a handle on the window with the FindWindow() command from .Net but as i found out the name of the window changes every time a file is played. The biggest problem i have is sending wm_commands to vlc..This approach worked with Winamp and Windows Media Player but with VLC it appears that it won't work.

I read that VLC can be controlled from a browser but i don't whant that...i've seen in it's settings that it has some hot keys that can be called..but they can be changed and if i call them from my code somehow...and the user changes them..bummer...

i'm a little bit stuck..any help would be fantastic... Sorin

Have you looked at libvlc

You might be able to wrap that up in a library and interact with VLC through that.
