How can I use "#FFFF00" in vb.net?

When I attempt to use label1.ForeColor="#FFFF00" I get an error: "Specified cast is not valid."

How can I resolve this?

You can use the WebColorConverter class.

It has a ConvertFromString method that can be used like this:

Dim ColorString As String = "#FFFF00"
Dim Color_Converter As New ColorConverter
Dim ActualColor As Color = Color_Converter.ConvertFromString(ColorString)
