Answer 2

a bit of googling: [http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfxbcl/thread/fcb7d14d-d15b-4336-971c-94a80e34b85e][1]

You can read the animated Gif with Image.GetFrameCount() and SelectActiveFrame().

Answer 3

Try this:

Image gifImg = Image.FromFile(pathToGifFile);
FrameDimension dimension = new FrameDimension(gifImg.FrameDimensionsList[0]);
// Number of frames
int frameCount = gifImg.GetFrameCount(dimension);
// Return an Image at a certain index
gifImg.SelectActiveFrame(dimension, index);
