How to work with hexadecimal colors
This example shows how you can convert hexadecimal colors like they are used in HTML to a .NET color object and vice versa.
// By using the ColorTranslator you can easily convert color values // definied in the hexadecimal format (like it is used in HTML) Color Color1 = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#EEEEEE"); Color Color2 = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("red"); /* ** Convert back: */ string Color1a = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToHtml(Color1); // --> "#EEEEEE" string Color2a = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToHtml(Color2); // --> "Red" string Color2b = String.Format("#{0:X2}{1:X2}{2:X2}", Color2.R, Color2.G, Color2.B); // --> "#FF0000"
