Color object

[fordtran]

I have to set the datagrid.forecolor to #Be9268, but it does not want to accept it as it says it cannot convert a long value to a system.drawing.color.
How should I go about setting it in terms of #.... or even RGB.
Thanks

why dont you just do this:

<asp:datagrid id="DataGrid1" runat="server" [red]ForeColor="Black"[/red] BackColor="White">

-DNG

Because I cannot use your notation in code behind.

i meant to ask why you dont consider doing it in the aspx page?

fordtran,

To set the ForeCOlor at runtime do this:

DataGrid1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green

Replace the System.Drawing.Color.Green with the color you want (ie;System.Drawing.Color.Black)

Hope this helps

Or, do it a faster and more accessible way and set the CSSClass of the control and assign the color via your CSS class.
