Convert Color

[SIMIN]

Hi,

How can I convert a color in a format like:

 

Color [A=255, R=255, G=255, B=255]

 

to a format like:

 

#ffffff

 

???

string.Format

 

Ignoring the alpha component:

 

string str = string.Format("#{0:x6}", color.ToArgb() & 0x00ffffff);

 

Or in VB:

 

Dim str As String = String.Format("#{0:x6}", color.ToArgb() And &H00FFFFFF)

 

Good luck :cool:

Well, I think I was unable to clarify myself.

I have a color in HTML format, like #ffffff for example.

I wanna convert it to standard System.Drawing.Color format.

So input is string, but output is NOT, output is RGB color format.

Thanks.

Open wide...

 

I wonder how many other people misinterpreted your post... never mind.

 

Assuming the string is exactly the format "#ffffff", then this would work:

 

color = Color.FromArgb(int.Parse(htmlString.Substring(1), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber));

 

Information on all these types and methods are available in the MSDN help, and in the Object Browser. I suggest you use them.

 

Good luck :cool:
