(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Lime) question

[saroj]

What is the difference between this:
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Lime), PlotStyle.Dot, " MoveUPStrong"));

and this:
Add(new Plot(Color.Lime), PlotStyle.Dot, " MoveUPStrong"));

I don't get why one needs the "Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Lime)" rather than the simple form.

for red green blue etc you do not need to access fromknowcolor. but to access color of, say caption or activeborder etc you need to access the same fromknowncolor

Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.ActiveBorder ));

Thanks bukkan, depends on what you want to do saroj - for regular indicators the simple format should be sufficient, you can also check into this for more on the C# color structs - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...nowncolor.aspx
