Actually, it is a custom control that inherits System.Web.UI.Control. My
code for the BackgroundColor property is:

Public WriteOnly Property BackgroundColor() As System.Drawing.Color
Set(ByVal value As System.Drawing.Color)
Me._backgroundcolor = value
End Set
End Property

Me._backgroundcolor is declared as:

Private _backgroundcolor As System.Drawing.Color

I know that my syntax for the property declaration is correct, I have used
it many times in other classes for other types (such as String, Integer,
etc.), just never with System.Drawing.Color. Any ideas? Thanks.

Since this is derived from a Web class, I can't really help much, being a
desktop guy, but I have to wonder: why WriteOnly?

Sometimes when developing my controls I don't add the Get's until later so
that I can see more of the properties on the screen at once. And since it is
a control intended primarily for declarative usage, it will allow me to use
it normally when testing. Yes, I do plan on adding the Get's before putting
it on my site, and maybe I do have a strange style, but most of the controls
I write are simply for the enjoyment, so who cares?
