Color Dialog does not work.

Question

So I get this error:

Reference to a non-shared Member requires an object reference.

The code is this:

Private Sub colorButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles colorButton.Click
        ColorDialog.Color = Me.BackColor
        ColorDialog.ShowDialog()
        Me.BackColor = Color.Dialog.Color
    End Sub

I don't know what to do, and I really need the help. I just started programming and I can't finish the project due to this error.

hi,

try this:

Private Sub colorButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles colorButton.Click
using dlg as new ColorDialog
    dlg.Color = Me.BackColor
    if dlg.ShowDialog() = dialogresult.ok then
        Me.BackColor = dlg.Color
    end if
end using
End Sub
