Ohh, I see...My mistake :P

Use this;

[php]
Label1.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.(Whatever you'd like)
[/php]

A. Imports System.Drawing (as a rule of thumb, so to speak)

/

Next.

@ HiddenoO it would be

Code:

Label1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red

NOT

Code:

Label1.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.

What you put is the system object for color structures, not a specific color

a example would be

Code:

Label1.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.ActiveCaption

Which will get the color of a structure, in this case the background color of the active window's title bar.

or

Code:

Me.BackColor = SystemColors.Control

This however is Easy and woks

Code:

Label1.BackColor = Color.FromName("Color Here")

Examples"

Code:

Label1.BackColor = Color.FromName("Red")

Code:

Label1.BackColor = Color.FromName("Blue")
