How to convert System.Drawing.Color code to RGB or Hexa?

-
Recently i came across an need of converting System.Drawing.Color value to equivalent RGB value and display it on the UI.

In fact there is no inbuilt function in .Net to do this. But we can do this with little effort. Let's see how can we do this.

Code snippet:
string ColorCodeToRGBString(Color col)
{
    return String.Format("{0},{1},{2}", col.R.ToString(), col.G.ToString(), col.B.ToString());
} 

string ColorCodeToHexaDecimalString(Color col)
{
    return String.Format("#{0},{1},{2}", col.R.ToString("X2"), col.G.ToString("X2"), col.B.ToString("X2"));
}

That's it.

Routed Events in WPF

-
Routed events are events which navigate up or down the visual tree acording to their RoutingStrategy. The routing strategy can be bubbling, tunneling or direct. You can hook up event handlers on the element that raises the event or also on other elements above or below it by using the attached event syntax: Button.Click="Button_Click" . Routed events normally appear as pair. The first is a tunneling event called PreviewMouseDown and the second is the bubbling called MouseDown . They don't stop routing if they reach an event handler. To stop routing then we have to set e.Handled = true; . Routed events are very similar to dependency properties (though instead of the Property suffix, by convention, we use an Event suffix… though it is not required).  Also need to register a RoutedEvent in the static constructor, followed by a standard .NET event wrapper.  Same as for dependency properties, DO NOT put any logic in the event wrapper itself. Routi...

IFormatProvider for Numbers in C#  The following example shows how to convert float to string and vice-versa using IFormatProvider . To get IFormatProvider you need to get CultureInfo instance first. Get invariant or specific CultureInfo Invariant culture is a special type of culture which is culture-insensitive. You should use this culture when you need culture-independent results , e.g. when you format or parse values in XML file. The invariant culture is internally associated with the English language. To get invariant CultureInfo instance use static property CultureInfo.In­variantCulture . To get specific CultureInfo instance use static method CultureInfo.Get­CultureInfo with the specific culture name, e.g. for the German language  Code: CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("de-DE"); Format and parse numbers using the IFormatProvider Once you have the CultureInfo instance, use property CultureInfo.Num­berFormat to get an IFormatProvider for number...
