VB.Net... getting started

[Fluoronator]

I've just installed VB.Net on my box and need a jumpstart... My first program was a simple "Beep()" and it did not work, can't find out why in the doc. Checked it in VB6 to make sure it wasn't my computer, no problems there. Next I was going to toggle the form's backcolor like this...

...Button1.Click...
If Me.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red Then
Me.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green
Else
Me.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
End If
End Sub
The "if" statement above is incorrect... Why?

Because backcolor is a Structure without a Compare interface. Try this.
' ToArgb produces an integer equivalent to Color
If Me.BackColor.ToArgb = System.Drawing.Color.Red.ToArgb Then
Me.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green
Else
Me.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
End If

But it does have an Equals method. Try also

If Me.BackColor.Equals(System.Drawing.Color.Red) Then
....
else
....
End If
