ColorTranslator.ToHtml(Color) Method

Definition

Translates the specified Color structure to an HTML string color representation.

public static string ToHtml(System.Drawing.Color c);

Parameters

c
Color

The Color structure to translate.

Returns

The string that represents the HTML color.

Examples

The following example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code translates a Color structure to a string representation of an HTML color, and then shows a message box with the resulting string.

public void ToHtml_Example(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    // Create an instance of a Color structure.
    Color myColor = Color.Red;
             
    // Translate myColor to an HTML color.
    string htmlColor = ColorTranslator.ToHtml(myColor);
             
    // Show a message box with the value of htmlColor.
    MessageBox.Show(htmlColor);
}

Remarks

This method translates a Color structure to a string representation of an HTML color. This is the commonly used name of a color, such as "Red", "Blue", or "Green", and not string representation of a numeric color value, such as "FF33AA".
