c# wav audioformat

Trying to find a workaround for my previous question, I'd like to convert a 16k 8bit mono wav which is written in byte[] (which has wav header) to a 8k 8bit mono stream/byte[].

Is there any .Net library with samples available for this kind of conversion?

Thank you.

Thanks for the answers, I ended up using NAudio and with the following snippet, Voila! Everything works like a charm: 

WaveFormat target = new WaveFormat(8000, 8 , 1);
WaveStream stream =new WaveFileReader("c:\\test.wav");
WaveFormatConversionStream str = new WaveFormatConversionStream(target, stream);
WaveFileWriter.CreateWaveFile("c:\\converted.wav", str);
