I think we are talking about diffrent things. I changed buttoncolors in ordinary forms at desing time and at run time. It's maybe a problem with compact framework. Forgot what I said and try to find a solution for your problem. I hope you do.

You can't change it at design time so i am assuming you can't change it at all.

Thank you for all the feedbacks. I had included the System.Drawing but it is still the same. Duddits: I'm using compact framework.

Administrator · Answer

you are doing it for compact framework or regular windows forms?

I'm changing the color of a button at runtime. I'm doing it in the same way as in your example. But did you include System.Drawing? using System.Drawing; bn1.BackColor = Color.Blue; Maybe this is your problem.

I doubt that you can change the color since you can't do it at runtime but you can use a graphic for a button. check this link. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/ImageButton.asp HTH Duddits
