Getting BackColor

[Tina]

I'm displaying radio buttons with specific backcolors to allow the user to
select one of the colors. I want to get this color and somehow put it into
a style sheet from code so that I can produce custom appearance.

However, if I say...

dim myColor as system.drawing.color
myColor = RadioButton1.backcolor

I just get the color object in myColor where I can retrieve the R,G, & B
values but I can't see how I can get something like "Red" or #F003830 that I
could put into a style sheet. How can this be done?
Thanks,
T

Hi,

System.Drawing.ColorTranslator class should help you.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ClassTopic.asp

It has methods to convert between color object and it's HTML representation.
