convert argb to rgb

[edel_ong]

is there a possibility to convert an argb value to rgb? I have to conform with a file information format where i have to write only rgb values... thanks!

Can you not just drop the a?

[edel_ong]

how can i do it? because the C# Color is auto-ARGB ... thanks a lot...

The .NET Color struct provides these instance properties: A, R, G, and B. You can use the last three to get the values you need. Josh

That depends on how you want to convert it. The alpha channel (A) contains transparency information. If you don't use transparency you could just drop that information. If there is transparency information you should draw the image on a solid background so that you get an image without transparency. An ARGB value is a 32 bit value. You can mask off the top 8 bits to get the 24 bit value for the RGB channels: int rgb = argb & 0x00ffffff; --- b { font-weight: normal; }
