No, these are different graphic formats.

Yes, I think you can do that with VS .NET. Open a .gif file in the IDE, then
create a new icon file. Select all the .gif file content and paste it to the
created icon. Then, paint all transparent areas with the transparent color
(displayed as a stylized computer monitor image filled with green on the
color picker tool window) and save the icon file.
