I have a table that has color text (Red, Blue...) as values and want to bind
items to it. If I bind a linkbutton's Text property it displays the text,
but when bound to Forecolor, I get the attached error. I want an object's
fore/background colors to bind properly to a table.

Thank,
DJ

You need to visit the aspnet newsgroups for this.
