Setting Background Colour to a Label

I want to set the custom colour &H0000BDBF& which I got from a colour
picker program. I need to set this as the background colour to a
Label.

I tried Label1.backgrou ndcolor = etc but it is not expecting an
integer.

Label1.Backgrou ndColor = Color.Red

You could use Label1.backcolo r = Color.FromArgb( &H6700BDBF&) . The value you
had would have a fully transparent alpha value, so you would not see the
color.

Hi, I know how to use javascript to change a background image to another background image, and how to change a background colour to another background colour. Is there a way to change an image to a backgound colour? I have a table with a background that has a picture. When the user hovers over the picture I want the background to change to the background colour of the rest of the page, as if to make the picture disappear.

If I place an <asp> label after the <body> tag, within one of the .NET containers, then it is easy to get the c# code to dynamically change the background image by placing suitable HTML on the label. The problem is that the background image does not...

If in my CSS I set the "background-color" property on the "body" element, it only covers the background of the elements defined in the body, up to the current width and height of the page. However, if the current component set has a resulting small height, this leaves most of the page with the original background color (white). However, if I set the property on the "html" element instead, it does color the entire visible page, beyond the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
