wow, ok. Not sure how much of that is old code, what should be commented out or w/e but try something like this:

public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {
    int iconId;

    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(context.Request.QueryString["id"]) || !int.TryParse(context.Request.QueryString["id"], out iconId) )
        throw new ArgumentException("No parameter specified");

    context.Response.ContentType = "image/gif";

    var db = new UdINaturen.UdINaturenContext();

    var GetIcon = (from i in db.subcategoryicons
                   where i.id == iconId
                   select i.picture).FirstOrDefault();
    byte[] buffer = (byte[])Convert.FromBase64String(GetIcon);

    context.Response.ContentType = "image/gif";
    context.Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);
    context.Response.Flush();
}
