I’ve written a small wrap around the DevIL image library .
It allows any .NET program (VB.NET, C#, etc) to open and save files in all formats supported by the DevIL library (most notably it can open PSD, PSP, TGA and DDS – yes it can directly open Photoshop files 
). Also it opens them as System.Drawing.Bitmap objects, so that it works optimally with existing code.
Also it is very simple to use.
UPDATE :
Minor bugfix, and uploaded samples of C# and VB.NET code

I will add the sln/vcproj to the sources as soon as I find the problem with your gif
Edit : the problem was found and the fix will come in a few days.
Grazie mille, Marco
One litte problem, loading gif images width you library and sample is unsuccesfull. Can you do some thing?
It seems that any gif image is loaded, but i also include an url
to a simple gif so you can try with the same image I tried.
