[RESOLVED] Color and Files

Am writing a graphics program which will develop components and save them to files for later retrieval.
Cant Figure out how to save the color component of the graphics to the file.
The File seems to accept only string items and I have not been able to figure out how to convert the color string back to a color object.
Anybody know the answer?

Look at the Color.ToARGB and Color.FromARGB methods.
The first gives you an integer describing a color(structure), the second returns a color from an integer.

There are probably a million answers. What does 'the file' refer to? You can write anything you like to a file: string or binary data. Then there's serialization. Or you can custom write a format you like with functions to convert to and from that format.

Perhaps showing what technique (i.e. a bit of code) you are using to save this data to 'the file' may help.

Are you looking for the Color.FromName() function?

Thanks for help
