    How can I serialize Color type?

    Hi,

    Can I xml serialize the property of type Color?

    The following doesn't work:

    [TypeConverter(t ypeof(ColorConv erter))]
    [XmlElement(type of(string))]
    public Color TextColor
    { get; set; }

    How?

    -- thanks

      OK, I did it. Looks ugly...
      private Color _textColor = SystemColors.Wi ndowText;

      [DisplayName("Te xt Color")]
      [XmlIgnoreAttrib ute()]
      public Color TextColor
      {
      get { return _textColor; }
      set { _textColor = value; }
      }

      [XmlElement("Tex tColor")]
      [Browsable(false )]
      public string TextColorHtml
      {
      get { return ColorTranslator .ToHtml(_textCo lor); }
      set { _textColor = ColorTranslator .FromHtml(value ); }
      }

          What happens if you remove the two attributes?
