How to set background color?

ben2

Hi, This is a newbie question. How can I set the background color of the web form page from code behind page model? I want something like: private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { //set the background color of the page here } I dont want to use any in page scripting for this.

I don't remember exactly, but you can use the property in the Page Page.BackColor = Color.Red Ich liebe .NET :)

Hi there. You can set the bgcolor of the body element directly -

or you can create a css <style> for the page:

<html>
<head>
<style>
body {background-color: #FFC9B8;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>

Or, if you do want to set it in the server-side Page_Load, you can add an id attribute and runat="server" to the <body> tag, then reference it server-side:

Or why not use a cookie to set the value - by doing this, the colour can be set from somewhere else, and be used throughout the site. I am not to sure how to do this in C#, as I am doing vb.net....
