Jerome,

What kind of functionality are you looking for in the
control? Server side/client side?

Jerome:

You can use the System.Web.UI.Design.ColorBuilder class to render the
functionality at design time you are looking for. If you have any
additional questions post again with them and I will try to answer them for
you.

Does the ColorBuilder class provide the same dialog that the bgColor
property of a web form does?
If so, its what I'm after; however, I haven't been able to locate any code
examples that use the
ColorBuilder class.

Could you post some example code of using the ColorBuilder class to set a
public property? Thanks.

Nate:

Here is a sample custom control that uses the WebColorConverter to display
the same color picking ability that the other web controls use.

========================
Start Control Code
========================

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Design;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.ComponentModel;

namespace MyCustomControls
{
public class MyControl : WebControl
{
private System.Drawing.Color textColor;
[
TypeConverterAttribute(typeof(WebColorConverter))
]
public System.Drawing.Color TextColor
{
get
{
return textColor;
}

set
{
textColor = value;
}
}

protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
output.Write("<B>" + TextColor.ToString() + "</B>");
}
}
}

========================
End Control Code
========================

As you can see I simply use a typeconverter attribute of type
WebColorConverter to add this functionality. Hope this helps.
