You are correct Chris, sorry was in the middle of two different projects when posted this tip but still no excuse., the string.Format() method would easily suffice for formatting the rgb to hex. EdMan apoligies for the lack of explanation on the tip/trick, thought the title gave it away, sometimes we forget to remember that the tip/tricks that we supply are also read by newbies to the language and should be adaquately explained. String.Format is a very important tool you will want to read up on this topic. A simple example would be MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Your Name is {0}!!!", textBox1.Text)); if the text in textBox1 is EdMan the output would be.... Your Name Is EdMan!!!
