.NET Framework 2.0

Gets or sets the foreground color (typically the color of the text) of the Web server control.

public void set_ForeColor (Color value)

public function set ForeColor (value : Color)

Property Value

A Color that represents the foreground color of the control. The default is Empty.

Remarks

Use the ForeColor property to specify the foreground color of the Web server control. The foreground color is usually the color of the text. This property will render on browsers earlier than Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4 for all controls, except the Image, AdRotator, HyperLink and LinkButton.

Note
On browsers earlier than Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4, this property is rendered as <font> tags.

Example

The following example illustrates how to set the ForeColor property of the Table control, inherited from the WebControl base class.

JScript

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="True" %>
<html>
 <body>
     <h3>ForeColor Property of a Web Control</h3>
 
 <form runat=server>
 
 <asp:Table id="Table1" runat="server"
    CellPadding=10 
    GridLines="Both"
    
    ForeColor="Blue"
 >
 
    <asp:TableRow>
       <asp:TableCell>
          Row 0, Col 0
       </asp:TableCell>
 
       <asp:TableCell>
          Row 0, Col 1
       </asp:TableCell>
    </asp:TableRow>
 
    <asp:TableRow>
       <asp:TableCell>

       </asp:TableCell>
 
       <asp:TableCell>
          Row 1, Col 1
