Alternative use for Color

[Guest]

Ever needed to get byte values from an integer?

just convert the integer to a color using Color.FromARGB and then use the
A,R,G,B properties

and to do the reverse use Color.FromARGB(A,R,G,B)

It is undoubtedly bad practice but it makes things easy!

Err, thanks for the tip, but it's a little obscure.

I can't imagine what the maintenance coder would say in five years time when
he's tweaking my code and comes across something like that. I'll stick with
the bitconvertor.
