Hi,

Here is the sample.

int oleColor = 0xFF00;
// Translate oleColor to a GDI+ Color structure.
Color myColor = ColorTranslator.FromOle(oleColor);

Hi Trevor,

You want ColorTranslator

Dim htmlColor As String = "#ff11aa"
Dim myColor As Color = ColorTranslator.FromHtml(htmlColor)
Label1.ForeColor = myColor

Does this help?
