I have a piece of code that is trying to convert a string to a
knownColor via CType. Is this not possible? I keep getting an error
that you cant convert a string to an integer. Is there another way to
do this?

For Each clr as object In Colors
If Not Color.FromKnownColor(CType(clr,
KnownColor)).IsSystemColor Then
alColor.Add(clr.ToString)
End If
Next

Thanks so much.

Yes, Enum.Parse();

-----------------------------------------v
Giving sample for someone to use in future.

KnownColor kc=(KnownColor) Enum.Parse(typeof(KnownColor), "White", true);
