Re: Color as Param

No...there is System.Drawing. Color but it's not working as a reference!

if i do

System.Drawing. Color myColor

myColor.(point) ...

it's showing to me properties that dont solve my probleb of textcolor!

Re: Color as Param

Hello,
You can use this:

public LabelMsg(System .Web.UI.WebCont rols.Label lblMsg, string
strMensagem,Sys tem.Drawing.Col or color);
{
lblMsg.Text = strMensagem;
lblMsg.ForeColo r = color;
}

and later use it like this:
LabelMsg("Hello World","Hi World", Color.Red)

HTH. Cheers:)

Doh!
Knew I should have checked that first :)
It is still the correct type to use though.
What is it not doing that you want it to?

What is MyColor.(point) ?

Color is static.

lblMyLabel.Fore Color = System.Drawing. Color.SteelBlue ;

Re: Color as Param

That's tha way...I found it!

private void Page_Load(objec t sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
lblMsg.Text = "Testando parâmetro de cores";
SetColor(lblMsg ,"Red");
}

private void SetColor(Label lblTexto, string strColor)
{
lblTexto.ForeCo lor = System.Drawing. Color.FromName( strColor); //This
method is the way --FromName--
}

UGLYYYYYY :)


Seriously, doing this is less intuitive, and way more fragile than
passing color as a color type.

I (or any future developers) can now break your code by doing
SetColor(lblmsg , "BlaBlaBla" )

How about

private void SetColor(Label label, Color color)
{
label.ForeColor = color;
}


....
SetColor(myLabe l, Color.Red);

Then, the programmer will get strong typing, (cannot pass an invalid
color), intellisense support etc..

Color.FromName will also incur a performance hit as well because it will
have to parse your string and map it to a valid colour.
