Ajax ColorPickerExtender example in ASP.NET or how to use ColorPicker extender in ASP.NET

HI Friends,in this article I will explain about Ajax ColorPickerExtender example in ASP.NET or how to use ColorPicker extender in ASP.NET
First you will have to download the latest binary of the AJAX Control Toolkit from CodePlex site. To download click here.
Once that is done you will need to Add Reference of the Ajax Control Toolkit DLL as shown in figure below figure

Once that is done build the website project and then add this tag to the aspx page.
<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="ajax" %>

Properties:
1.  TargetControlID – The Control which will display the hexadecimal color value.
2. SampleControlID – The Control which will show the preview of the color.
3.  PopupButtonID – The Control which will trigger the color picker.
4. OnClientColorSelectionChanged – have to give the javascript function for this.The JavaScript function to be called when the colour is changed.

ASP.NET:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
    <title>Ajax ColorPickerExtender example in ASP.NET or how to use ColorPicker extender in ASP.NET</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function Color_Changed(sender) {
            sender.get_element().value = "#" + sender.get_selectedColor();//adds a Hash (#) as prefix to the color hexadecimal value in the textbox.
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body id="body1" runat="server">
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
        </asp:ScriptManager>
        Select the color:<asp:TextBox ID="txtColor" runat="server"
            Width="150px" />
        <ajax:ColorPickerExtender ID="ColorPicker1" runat="server" TargetControlID="txtColor"
            SampleControlID="txtColor" PopupButtonID="txtColor" PopupPosition="Right" OnClientColorSelectionChanged="Color_Changed" />
        <br />
        <asp:Button ID="btnChangeBg" runat="server" Text="Change Background" OnClick="btnChangeBg_Click" />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

C#:
public partial class AjaxColorPickerExtender : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void btnChangeBg_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        body1.Attributes.Add("bgcolor", txtColor.Text);
    }
}

VB.NET:
Public Partial Class AjaxColorPickerExtender
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
    Protected Sub btnChangeBg_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
        body1.Attributes.Add("bgcolor", txtColor.Text)
    End Sub
End Class

2. After selecting the color,adds a Hash (#) as prefix to the color hexadecimal value in the textbox.
