Question

When I want to cast an object to System.Drawing.Color (using as), I got the following error at compile time :

The as operator must be used with a reference type or nullable type ('System.Drawing.Color' is a non-nullable value type)

What can I do ?

My code is like :

MyClass.indoorColor = parsedObject as System.Drawing.Color;

Answer 1

The System.Drawing.Color is a Struct and can’t be casted with the ‘as’ keyword from a reference type to a value type.

Try to use one of the ‘From..’ Methods from System.Drawing.Color by passing parameters:
