Setting background color in asp.net form

JGranborg

As a beginner in asp.net, I have a very simple problem. How do I set the background color dynamic from my c# code in an asp.net web application. Simple but very frustrating. Jørgen

Hi there. One approach would be to assign the "runat='server'" attribute and an id attribute to the html literal <body> tag. Then in code you can set the bgColor attribute based on the <body> tag's id to dynamically change the background color.

<%@Page language="C#" %>

<body id="pageBodyTag" runat="server">
    <h3>Background Color on Page</h3>
    <p>Isn't this fun?</p>
</body>

</html>

Thanks a lot, as a newbie I´d never get it to work, with your Page_Load overwrite but > and then having a GetColor() in my page class worked. You got me on the right track. Thanks a lot Jørgen Granborg
