I can convert a string to color, but how do I convert a color to string (to store it in XML)

Tags: VS 2005 VB.NET
Friends,

I am using an XML file to store user settings for my app.  This method has worked great until I tried to deal with colors.

Now, I know I can convert a String to a color.. xmlAltRowColor = Color.FromName(xmlReader.ReadString)

But how do I convert a Color to a string?

Syntax Help Requested.  

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Eric
