Convert integer to color in WPF

Question

How to convert integer to color in WPF? For example, I want to convert 16711935 to color.

How to do something like below in windows forms, in WPF?

myControl.Background = Color.FromArgb(myColorInt);

Answer 1

Use the BitConverter Class to convert your value to a Byte Array, that way you do not need to import another namespace.

byte[] bytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(16711935);
this.Background = new SolidColorBrush( Color.FromArgb(bytes[3],bytes[2],bytes[1],bytes[0]));

Answer 2

You want to use System.Drawing.Color, not System.Windows.Media.Color:

var myColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(16711935);

Ooookay, not sure this is very pretty, but you could convert from one Color class to the other, then use that in the SolidColorBrush ctor:

myControl.Background = new SolidColorBrush(
  System.Windows.Media.Color.FromArgb(myColor.A,myColor.R,myColor.G,myColor.B));

Answer 3

The System.Windows.Media.Color structure has similar methods but they have parameters of type Byte. You can use the BitConverter class to convert between an array of Bytes and an Int32.
