Using hexadecimal color code in System.Drawing.Color

Is there a way to specify the hexadecimal code(something like #E9E9E9) while setting the color of a datagrid instead of using the below code.

dg.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray

Thank you. How do I make the forecolor font bold in this same context? – Fairminded

Answer 1

dg.BackColor =  System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#E9E9E9");

Also take a look at the other functions from ColorTranslator to translate Ole colors or doing the transform vice versa (from Color to html string). – Rotatory

You should really take a look into the code of FromHtml with reflector. I like this special handling of LightGrey ;-) – Rotatory

Thanks you all,, how can I make the font bold using System.Drawing.Color for any color? – Fairminded

@Pooja, open up a new question for that. :) – Zackaryzacks

Answer 2

try this :

dg.BackColor = Sytem.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(0, 0xE9, 0xE9, 0xE9);

or

string myColor = "#E9E9E9";
dg.BackColor = Sytem.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(int.Parse(myColor.Replace("#", "0x"));
