Set Windows Forms Background Color To Hex Value

Question

I am simply trying to set the background of a Windows Forms window to a hex color value, eg, "#626262." I cannot seem to find any simple way to do it. Is there a simple way to set the background color of a windows form?

Answer 1

Hex values are represented in C# like 0x626262.

So you can simply enter that into the property editor.

If you want to do it at runtime, you can use ColorTranslator:

myForm.BackColor =  ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#626262");
