Making styles with VB Code...

[jmcilhinney]

In WinForms it's much the same as in VB6, e.g.

Button1.BackColor = Color.Black

In WPF you would create a Brush and assign it to the Background property. If you just want a solid colour then you can use a SolidColorBrush, obtained from the Brushes class,e.g.

Button1.Background = Brushes.Black

If you want something fancier then you can create some other type of Brush.
