Hey, Got the answer, I have done using the followin two functions to do that, Public Function GetColorToString(ByVal colorObj As System.Drawing.Color) As String Dim hexString As String hexString = "#" & Strings.Right("0" & Hex(colorObj.R), 2) & _ Strings.Right("0" & Hex(colorObj.G), 2) & _ Strings.Right("0" & Hex(colorObj.B), 2) Return hexString End Function Public Function GetColorFromString(ByVal strColor As String) As System.Drawing.Color If Not strColor Is Nothing Then Dim colConvert As New ColorConverter Return colConvert.ConvertFromString(strColor) End If End Function It's working for me.

Nah, don't waste time to write a function just get the control color and convert it to string. sub getcolorstr() dim color as string color = (control name).backcolor.tostring end sub that's done! :)
