[RESOLVED] color - formargb

[asm]

Hi,

warinng message :-
Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated.


syntax:
lblMessage.ForeColor = Me.f_Color.FromArgb(ds.Tables("Events").Rows(MNo).Item("Color"))



Guide what wrong with syntax?


asm

[.paul.]

what is the exact value of ds.Tables("Events").Rows(MNo).Item("Color")?

.fromARGB expects 3 or 4 numbers, i.e,

.fromARGB(255,255,255,255)

or:

.fromARGB(255,255,255)

try:

lblMessage.ForeColor = directcast(ds.Tables("Events").Rows(MNo).Item("Color"),color)

[asm]

let us explain my problem:

Dim f_Color As System.Drawing.Color

store numeric color value->
lblColor.text = f_Color.ToArgb

and display the color into label-

lblMessage.ForeColor = Me.f_Color.FromArgb(ds.Tables("Events").Rows(MNo).Item("Color"))

The function System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb is a shared method, but you're accessing it from an instance of your form. This line:

lblMessage.ForeColor = Me.f_Color.FromArgb(ds.Tables("Events").Rows(MNo).Item("Color")

Needs to be changed to this:

lblMessage.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(CInt(ds.Tables("Events").Rows(MNo).Item("Color")))

By the way, you should turn Option Strict ON.
