Setting the background color of a textbox while in GotFocus()

I have been out of IT now for about 4.5 years and am just now getting back into it. I'm also learning C#, even though I can read it a little. So my question is in the Title...how to set the Background Color of a textbox while in the GotFocus() event. Here is what I have so far and it's not working.

That seems overly convoluted.

Why not just:

Code:

---

FName.BackColor = FocusColor;

---

That is assuming that FocusColor is property declared elsewhere in your code.

I tried that but BackColor didn't even show up in the intellisense. Not sure what's going on. In VB.Net, it's pretty much the same code and that works.

There is no such property. The TextBox control in Windows Forms has a BackColor property but you're using WPF, so it's a different class with different members. Seems like you might need to do a bit of research on how WPF controls work.

I don't really use WPF but I think you would need to set the Background property, but note that it is type Brush.

I don't want to use WPF either...WinForms still works just fine. I've always thought...don't fix what's not broke!
