The following line on Page 719 of VS.Net to set the bg color property 
results in Parser error.
'<ch21:navbar id="MyNavBar" runat="server' backcolor="Chartreuse"'
Parser error:
'Cannot create an object of type "System.Drawing.Color" from its string 
representation "* tried with other valid colors such as #00cc00" for 
the "BackColor" property'
What is wrong with this and how can I solve this problem?

The codes in ASCX is as it is given in the book and it works without bg 
color setting from the hosing page.  I am using Visual.net release 
version (not Beta2) but, still I have to use Sub Page_Load rather than 
Sub Control_Load to activate this sub routine.

Thank you for your help.

Try:

backcolor = Color.Chartreuse
