Apply an ICC Color Profile to an image in C# (Dotnet)

How does one convert an image from one color profile to another (screen to printer, or scanner to screen). In Visual C++ you would use the function in ICM.h, is there a managed way to do this with GDI+? I need to use GDI+, not WPF.

Achieving Colour Consistency Across Different Monitors

I have an SWF file with only vector illustrations in it (no bitmaps). Is there a way to improve colour consistency across different monitors?
