   Hi, I'm moving all my applications to VB.NET from VB6 (VB.COM) but with a full redesign from the ground to top but one thing that what working fine in VB6 was that trick for the background color of controls in taskpanel
 
in form_load()
set myitem = mygroup.items.add(1,"",3)
myitem.control = picControls
picControls.backcolor = myitem.backcolor
 
but in vb.net i replace that by
 

myitem = mygroup.items.add(1,"",3)
myitem.control = panelControls
panelControls.backcolor = Color.FromArgb(myitem.backcolor)
 
no error on running but the backcolor isn't changed i event put the code in the paint event of the panel but nothing changed
