Hi!
I'm using the colorDialog to let the user select a color, then I save it to the registry. Everything is fine except with the user doesn't select a named color. What I am getting save to the registry is something like:
ffff8000
I tried the following:
ColorConverter
colConvert = new ColorConverter();treeview1.ForeColor = (
Color)colConvert.ConvertFromString(regkey.GetValue("ColorName").ToString());But it's not working when the color is not named, e.g. Yellow.
I'm getting:
ffff8000 is not a valid value for Int32.
Please help. Thanks.
Problems in converting colors

you're getting a hex value, so you need to convert hex to decimal.
int decCol = int.Parse(colorString, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);
