Changing background color of the form with hexadecimal code.

Question

I have one method named ChangeFormBackground(Color colorName) which changes the form background with the colorname which is the parameter of the method.Now when I call this method I have not color name but the hexadecimal code of the color and I want to change the background color of the form with that hexadecimal code using that method then what should I do?

Answer 1

using System.Windows.Media;
Color color = (Color)ColorConverter.ConvertFromString("#FFDFD991");

(this assumes an ARGB value)

or

Color color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FFCC66");

Answer 2

You can use ColorConverter Class for manipulating color representations.

Answer 3

You could use the FromArgb method:

Color.FromArgb(0x78FF0000);

Answer 4

This will always work because it doesn't contain alpha color (which is not supported by BackColor property):

Color temp = Color.FromArgb(0xFF00FF);
Color result = Color.FromArgb(temp.R, temp.G, temp.B);
