How to convert to color?

[VB Programmer]

How do I convert the following to a HEX code I can use in HTML documents?

1. [A=255, R=0, G=0, B=192]
2. Aqua

FYI: When I print the session variable I'm storing this color in (in the
Immediate window) I get this:
? session("MyBackgroundColor")
"Color [A=255, R=0, G=0, B=192]" {String}
String: "Color [A=255, R=0, G=0, B=192]"

Thanks!

I don't think that there is a method to do that in the Color class. However,
if you plan on needing to do this more than a couple times I would simply
write your own function to do it. It wouldn't be hard, if you would like
help writing this function let me know. Good Luck!

Hi VB Programmer,

First, you won't be able to use Alpha in an HTML document, so forget about
that part. As for creating a hexadecimal number from an RGB value, here's a
method I created that does this:

public static string ColorToHex(int R, int G, int B)
{
string r, g, b;
r = R.ToString("X2");
g = G.ToString("X2");
b = B.ToString("X2");
return "#" + r + g + b;
}

You can lead a fish to a bicycle,
but it takes a very long time,
and the bicycle has to *want* to change.

Hi VB Programmer,

Sorry, I just realized I gave you the code in C#. It sounds like you aren't
having any problems translating, but just in case:

Public Shared Function ColorToHex(ByVal R As Integer, _
ByVal G As Integer, ByVal B As Integer) As String
Dim red, blue, green As String
red = R.ToString("X2")
green = G.ToString("X2")
blue = B.ToString("X2")
Return "#" & red & green & blue
End Function

Helpful as usual Kevin! Thanks.
