Hex Color to RGB

[Diomatas]

Hi

Visual Basic 6 uses for the color format something like &H0000000&
How can I convert a color of this format to RGB for use in the .NET
I need this because the data I use are already stored in a database for use
in a Visual Basic 6 Application.

Thanks in advance

Diomatas,

Have a look at the color structure methods.

Color.FromArgb( Integer ) is the most likely candidate, as in

Dim c as Color _
= Color.FromArgb( &H000000& )

Or, of you have access to the RGB components instead,

c = Color.FromArgb( R, G, B )

HTH,

Take a look at the ColorTranslator class.

'Dim c As Color = Color.FromArgb(&H0000000)'

For OLE colors:

'Dim c As Color = ColorTranslator.FromOle(&H0000000)'.

'Color' has 'R', 'G', and 'B' properties.
