I am trying to create a semi-transparent image, but cannot for some reason
get the color method to work in the system.drawing class. I've included the
system.drawing.dll in my project, but the following won't compile:

v(i) = color.argb(100,255,0,255). doesn't work.
v(i) = color.FromArgb(100,255,0,255) doesn't work either.


Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Pete M

Is this question regarding MS Access?

library to acquire and modify an image, which i am running from an access
form.

In that case, check www.lebans.com for the best information on Access and
image type files. If you don't find an answer, perhaps Stephen will find and
reply to this thread.

Hey Duane,
I'm still not up to speed on NET yet. I belive the OP's issue would be
better asked in a NET forum.

It would help to know what v(i) was??

dim v as color=color.FromArgb(100,255,0,255)

I have not personally used this library, but some of these search results
look promising ...
