C# getting all colors from Color

Question

I want to make a ComboBox filled with all the colors from System.Drawing.Color

But I can't seem to collect all the colors from that collection

I've already tried using a foreach to do the job like this:

foreach (Color clr in Color)
     {

     }

But all I get is an error.

So how can I loop trough all the colors?

Any help will be appreciated.

You could take color from KnownColor

KnownColor[] colors  = Enum.GetValues(typeof(KnownColor));
foreach(KnownColor knowColor in colors)
{
  Color color = Color.FromKnownColor(knowColor);
}

or use reflection to avoid color like Menu, Desktop... contain in KnowColor

Type colorType = typeof(System.Drawing.Color);
// We take only static property to avoid properties like Name, IsSystemColor ...
PropertyInfo[] propInfos = colorType.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public);
foreach (PropertyInfo propInfo in propInfos) 
{
  Console.WriteLine(propInfo.Name);
}
