Actually, it is a custom control that inherits System.Web.UI.C ontrol. My
code for the BackgroundColor property is:
>
Public WriteOnly Property BackgroundColor () As System.Drawing. Color
Set(ByVal value As System.Drawing. Color)
Me._backgroundc olor = value
End Set
End Property
>
Me._backgroundc olor is declared as:
>
Private _backgroundcolo r As System.Drawing. Color
>
I know that my syntax for the property declaration is correct, I have used
it many times in other classes for other types (such as String, Integer,
etc.), just never with System.Drawing. Color. Any ideas? Thanks.

Since this is derived from a Web class, I can't really help much, being a
desktop guy, but I have to wonder: why WriteOnly?

Re: Control Properties of Type System.Drawing. Color

Sometimes when developing my controls I don't add the Get's until later so
that I can see more of the properties on the screen at once. And since it is
a control intended primarily for declarative usage, it will allow me to use
it normally when testing. Yes, I do plan on adding the Get's before putting
it on my site, and maybe I do have a strange style, but most of the controls
I write are simply for the enjoyment, so who cares?
