Accessing Value

You can get or set the value of the color picker through its Value property. For example, the following code changes Label1's background color to the color selected by the user:

[C#]
Label1.BackColor = ColorPicker1.Value;            
            

[Visual Basic.NET]
Label1.BackColor = ColorPicker1.Value            
            

The following code clears the color picker's Value property:

[C#]
ColorPicker1.Value = Color.Empty;            
            

[Visual Basic.NET]
ColorPicker1.Value = Color.Empty
            

The following code initializes the color picker to have an initial "Blue" value:

[C#]
ColorPicker1.Value = Color.Blue;            
            

[Visual Basic.NET]
ColorPicker1.Value = Color.Blue
            

Handling Events

Server side event Change is fired when the color picker's value is changed between post backs. By default, the color picker does not post back the page when user selects a color unless AutoPostBack is set to true.
