Using ToArgb() followed by FromArgb() does not result in the original color

Question

This does not work

        int blueInt = Color.Blue.ToArgb();
        Color fred = Color.FromArgb(blueInt);
        Assert.AreEqual(Color.Blue,fred);
         


        

Answer 1

From the MSDN documentation on Color.operator ==:

This method compares more than the ARGB values of the Color structures. It also does a comparison of some state flags. If you want to compare just the ARGB values of two Color structures, compare them using the ToArgb method.

I'm guessing the state flags are different.
