Have you facing problem to convert "#CCCCCC" to .NET Colour.?

Here is a solution to convert the CSS / Hex String to .NET Colour (RGB).

Conversion Class

 
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

namespace Convert_Hex_String_to.NET_Color
{

    public class ConversionClass
    {       

        /// <summary>
        /// Convert a hex string to a .NET Color object.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="hexColor">a hex string: "FFFFFF", "#000000"</param>
        public static Color HexStringToColor(string hexColor)
        {
            string hc = ExtractHexDigits(hexColor);
            if (hc.Length != 6)
            {
                // you can choose whether to throw an exception
                //throw new ArgumentException("hexColor is not exactly 6 digits.");
                return Color.Empty;
            }
            string r = hc.Substring(0, 2);
            string g = hc.Substring(2, 2);
            string b = hc.Substring(4, 2);
            Color color = Color.Empty;
            try
            {
                int ri
                   = Int32.Parse(r, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);
                int gi
                   = Int32.Parse(g, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);
                int bi
                   = Int32.Parse(b, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);
                color = Color.FromArgb(ri, gi, bi);
            }
            catch
            {
                // you can choose whether to throw an exception
                //throw new ArgumentException("Conversion failed.");
                return Color.Empty;
            }
            return color;
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Extract only the hex digits from a string.
        /// </summary>
        public static string ExtractHexDigits(string input)
        {
            // remove any characters that are not digits (like #)
            Regex isHexDigit
               = new Regex("[abcdefABCDEF\\d]+", RegexOptions.Compiled);
            string newnum = "";
            foreach (char c in input)
            {
                if (isHexDigit.IsMatch(c.ToString()))
                    newnum += c.ToString();
            }
            return newnum;
        }

    }  

}


MessageBox Class

        {
            DialogResult ret = MessageBox.Show(sMsg, sTitle, MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question);
            return (ret == DialogResult.Yes);
        }

        //---------------------------------------------------------------------

        public static void Warning(string sMsg)
        {
            Warning("", sMsg);
        }

        //---------------------------------------------------------------------
        // Displays a Warning type message box       
        // parameter name="sCaption" is  Name of Application or Class or Method
        // parameter name="sMsg" is The message you want to display
        public static void Warning(string sCaption, string sMsg)
        {
            if (sCaption.Length == 0)
                sCaption = "Warning";
            MessageBox.Show(sMsg, sCaption, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
        }
        //---------------------------------------------------------------------
        // Displays a Information type message box    
        // parameter name="sMsg" is The message you want to display
        public static void Info(string sMsg)

        public static void Info(string sCaption, string sMsg)
        {
            if (sCaption.Length == 0)
                sCaption = "Information";
            MessageBox.Show(sMsg, sCaption, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
        }

    }
}
