Setting BgColor in UserControl (.ascx)

Hello
I am trying to set a background color in User Control (.ascx).
But when I click on properties of .ascx bgcolor is not listed.

Do I do this in html?

Thanks.

Yes, you can do that.

Since a UC is not a complete page, you cannot set the bgcolor attribute of the <body> tag (which isn't a good idea anyway).
To change the color of your UC, wrap the entire contents in a <div> like this:

<div style="background-color:#fff;color:#000;">
Your UC contents here
</div>

Alternatively, you could give your <div> an ID and then control its experience in an external style sheet.

HtH,
