Hi Doru,
I appologize. I gave you code for WinForms, not WebForms. To change the color of the page, you set the Body.Attributes["bgcolor"] to the color to use. Here is a working example of how to do this:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="True" %>
<html>
<head>
<script runat="server">
void SubmitBtn_Click(object Source, EventArgs e)
{
Body.Attributes["bgcolor"] = ColorSelect.Value;
}
</script>
</head>
<body id=Body runat="server">
<h3>Updating Styles with the HtmlGenericControl</h3>
<form runat="server">
<p>
Select a background color for the page: <p>
<select id="ColorSelect" runat="server">
<option>White</option>
<option>Wheat</option>
<option>Gainsboro</option>
<option>LemonChiffon</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" runat="server"
Value="Apply" OnServerClick="SubmitBtn_Click">
</form>
</body>

>>>I created a C# web form in VS.NET and set the background color of the form to blue. I added a 3 buttons option group and tryied to change the color of the form when selecting an option... I thought it would be something like this.parent.bgcolor = rgb(), but it seems that this is as far as the moon from what I wanted. I tryied to lookup how do you set proprties in code in C#, but found zero so far.
>>>I am at the begining of a C# for web in 21 days and some other C# and ASP.NET reading, but do I have to go from start to end before I can do the simplest things?
>>>I hesitated about opening this thread in C#, maybe chatter would've fit better given the stage that I am in with dotnet...
