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 );
   }

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);
}

Public Sub ToHtml_Example(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create an instance of a Color structure.
    Dim myColor As Color = Color.Red

    ' Translate myColor to an HTML color.
    Dim htmlColor As String = ColorTranslator.ToHtml(myColor)

    ' Show a message box with the value of htmlColor.
    MessageBox.Show(htmlColor)
End Sub

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".
