First things first - what are you trying to achieve? Secondly, what errors
are you getting with this approach (there is no such class as DrawingSystems
for a start...

Assuming you have a button on your form called myButton, you would set it's
back color like this:-
Me.myButton.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red

As Peter points out, it's not at all clear what you're doing. If
you'resaying you're setting the backcolor of a control and it's not doing
anything (but it is not throwing an exception) and if you're running CF 1.0,
make sure it's SP3, as the RTM and maybe SP1 didn't work for these. If this
isn't the case, you need to tell us more.

You need to use reflection to get the instance of the control with the name,
get the backcolor property setter and then you can use that to set the
color.

The ControlCollection class which has the collection of controls for a form
or container, doesn't support accessing controls by name in the Compact
Framework. You could loop through the collection until you find the required
control, or you could use reflection to get hold of a specific control.

For Each c As Control in Me.Controls

If c.Name == nameFromDatabase Then
c.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(colorValueFromDatabase)
End If
Next
