Hex Colours in .net ??? (Sorted)

[OptimusPrime]

i need to set the colour of a menu to this style but when i create the style it needs to be in .net not in a style sheet as they are generated @ runtime ... but how do i add hex values in vb.net ?

the following don't work

MyStyle.BackColor = Color.FromName()
MyStyle.BackColor = Color.FromArgb()
MyStyle.BackColor = Color.FromKnownColor

do i need to setup a colour object ??

many thanks

i tried the colour object thing but couldn't add a hex value ... it needs to be set to #003366 btw

The easiest thing would probably be to convert your hex value to an RGB value and then use the Color.FromARGB function. This link is to an example in VB. It shouldn't be hard to convert it to VB.NET.

just sorted it .... 2 secs and ill post up what i did

Dim MyColourTranslator As ColorTranslator
MyStyle.BackColor = MyColourTranslator.FromHtml("#003366") 

which works fine
