How do I get the color from a hexadecimal color code using .NET?

How can I get a color from a hexadecimal color code (e.g. #FFDFD991)?

I am reading a file and am getting a hexadecimal color code. I need to create the corresponding System.Windows.Media.Color instance for the hexadecimal color code. Is there an inbuilt method in the framework to do this?

I’m assuming that’s an ARGB code… Are you referring to System.Drawing.Color or System.Windows.Media.Color? The latter is used in WPF for example. I haven’t seen anyone mention it yet, so just in case you were looking for it:

using System.Windows.Media;

Color color = (Color)ColorConverter.ConvertFromString("#FFDFD991");
