Dealing with Colors in VB.NET | | The System.Drawing.Color enumeration in .NET provides a whole host of colors and is very easy to use. For instance, if I wanted to change the background color of a form, I could use the following:
| MyForm.BackGroundColor = Color.White |
Anytime an objects property takes a color, this is all you really need to do to maniupate it, provided it's not Read-Only.
Howevever, what if you need a color that's not in the standard enumeration like 192, 192, 192. You can't pass it in as a string so you need to look to the Color.FromArgb method. Here's all there is to it:
| MyForm.BackgroundColor = Color.FromArgb(CType(192, Byte), CType(192, Byte), CType(255, Byte)) | |
