[help]Convert String to Color[Solved]

So as all of you know, I'm working on my web browser, but I need YOUR help.

How do you convert string to color????????

example of a string:

Color [A=255, R=211, G=69, B=112]

so here is part of my code:

[php]
dim d as string
d = reader.readline()
colordialog1.color = d <----- need to convert
[/php]

lol found a website that answered 1/2 my question

Convert string to Color | Corey Schuman

the problem is, a, r, g, b are READ-ONLY

MSDN:

Code:

Public Shared Function FromName( _
   ByVal name As String _
) As Color

name
A string that is the name of a pre-defined color. Valid names are the same as the names of the elements of the KnownColor enumeration.
Return Value

The Color structure that this method creates.

Remarks

A pre-defined color is also called a known color and is represented by an element of the KnownColor enumeration. If name is not the valid name of a pre-defined color, the FromName method creates a Color structure that has an ARGB value of zero (that is, all ARGB components are 0).

So unless I am misunderstanding what you want you can use the above and

[php]
Dim d as color
d = Color.Aqua ' Or whatever color
[/php]

Or you can use color from ARGB

Dim "whatever" As Color = Color.FromArgb("'RGB Here' 0,0,0")

[php]
Dim d As Color = Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 255)
' d = white
[/php]

close this plz i found a solution

Dim colorz As New ColorConverter
ColorDialog1.Color = colorz.ConvertFromString(d)

Simple Man

[php] Dim red As String = "233"
Dim green As String = "133"
Dim blue As String = "44"
dim alpha as integer=255
Me.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(alpha, red, green, blue)
[/php]
