Convert System.Drawing.Color to RGB and Hex Value
You could keep it simple and use the native color translator:
Color red = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FF0000");
string redHex = ColorTranslator.ToHtml(red);
Then break the three color pairs into integer form:
int value = int.Parse(hexValue, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);
I'm failing to see the problem here. The code looks good to me.
The only thing I can think of is that the try/catch blocks are redundant -- Color is a struct and R, G, and B are bytes, so c can't be null and c.R.ToString()
, c.G.ToString()
, and c.B.ToString()
can't actually fail (the only way I can see them failing is with a NullReferenceException
, and none of them can actually be null).
You could clean the whole thing up using the following:
private static String HexConverter(System.Drawing.Color c)
{
return "#" + c.R.ToString("X2") + c.G.ToString("X2") + c.B.ToString("X2");
}
private static String RGBConverter(System.Drawing.Color c)
{
return "RGB(" + c.R.ToString() + "," + c.G.ToString() + "," + c.B.ToString() + ")";
}
