Integer to color

[Guest]

I'm pulling a value from the db that is an integer, ie 6421504. I then want
to use
these value to change the color of the text. How can I
convert this integer value to a color in vb.net?

Thanks,

dim i as integer = 6421504
dim c as color

c = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(i)


Probably the Alpha channel is missing, so you'd have to use

c = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(i or &Hff000000)

Check out 'Color.From*' and the 'ColorTranslator' class.
