I know that OpenGL can work with a classic window created by CreateWindow and handles through device context (GetDC), but is it possible for OpenGL to work with .NET form? I mean turning .NET form into a OpenGL window.

Yes, this is possible. OpenGL requires window handle, which is available through Form.Handle property. To get device context, call GetDC with this handle.
