I am not sure what your asking but my code looks like this:
dim tbString as String
tbString = textbox.backcolor
I get the following error
Value of type "System.Drawing.Color" can not be converted to "String".
dim tbString as String
tbString = textbox.backcolor
I get the following error
Value of type "System.Drawing.Color" can not be converted to "String".

Hi Tom,
I don't know whether you loked at the Members list for Color. It's not all
colour names. Somewhere in there are the instance members. Name is just one of
them.;-)
TextBox.BackColor.Name

textbox.BackColor.ToString() works for me. I wasn't sure if you were
after a string representation of the RGB values.

Which format would you expect? Hex-Value, "known color name", ...?
