[RESOLVED] Control background color conversion help.

Hi all!

I am a recent (This week is my first) convert from VB6 to VB2010. The learning curve has been a little painful, but I seem to have database access and other items in hand. What I am struggling with is background colors on controls at runtime. I am reading a 3rd party database where I cannot alter how the data is stored. A field in the data has the background color stored as what appears to be a Int32. Any suggestions on how to convert this to a value that is acceptable to VB2010 ? I included the hex values below as reference, but how to apply the int value to the BG color is the real issue.

Thanks in advance.

Example#1
Color: Aqua/Cyan (0FFFF)
Database value: 16776960

Example#2
Color: Lt Pink (FF99CC)
Database value: 13408767

Example #3
Color:Med Blue (0082FF)
Database Value: 16744960

Use Color.FromArgb function

Code:

---

myControl.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(16776960)

Thanks, perfect.
