Just started coding in VB.NET and created a small app; click a button and the form changes color. If the form is red it changes to blue; if the form is blue it changes to red.

In the click event I placed this code:

If Me.Backcolor = Color.Red Then
   Me.Backcolor = Color.Blue
Else
   Me.Backcolor = Color.Red
End If

In the IF statement I'm getting the error:

"Operator '=' not defined for types System.Drawing.Color"

Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance...

Hi there,

You can use the Equals method off the Color class to find out whether the BackColor is of a specific color:

If Me.BackColor.Equals(Color.Red) Then
  Me.BackColor = Color.Blue
Else
  Me.BackColor = Color.Red
End If

This will compare the Color of the Background of the Form with Color.Red and return true if the two are of the same color.

Cheers,
