That strikes me as odd, I just tested the following, and it works like a
breeze:

label1.Backcolor =3D Color.FromName("#0000cd")

Are you importing the 'System.Drawing' namespace?

I tried both
Color.FromName("#6B696B") and ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#b5ccff");
but both fail to work. They only work when using a named color like
"Red" not for hexadecimal naming.

Thanks,
Yannick Smits

=C4mne: [ngfx-drawing] hexadecimal to color

How can I convert a hexadecimal colorcode (ie #b5ccff) to a
System.Drawing.Color object (C#)?

Thanks,
Yannick Smits

'True, Color.FromName only works with named colors' This is incorrect,
unless it is specific for C#. I use=20
Color.FromName with hexcode strings all the time in VB.Net and it works
just fine. Someone better clarify this.

    True, Color.FromName only works with named colors, but I have
used ColorTranslator.FromHTML frequently in C#
    and it works fine enough, what sort of error do you get when you
use it?
    Anyway, you could try this workaround: convert the html color
string
to an hexadecimal value ("#ffffff" -> 0xfffffff).     Then you get its
RGB
components (i.e using shifting operators) and create the color    with
Color.FromARGB(int r, int g,=20
    int b).

    Hope this will help.

You obviously do not believe what I say that Color.FromName("HexSTring")
can be used straight out ;). Check it out here then and see for
yourself:

Have fun!
