convert

I'm trying to convert from a System.Drawing.Color to a Silverlight System.Windows.Media.Color. I'm actually trying to pass this color through a service.

The System.Drawing.Color, passed over the wire, does not serialize the argb value independently.

I can convert the argb value to a 32-bit int

[DataMember]  
public int MyColor { get { return Color.Red.ToArgb(); } set {} }

But I don't see any corresponding method in System.Windows.Media.Color to convert that back.

What is the best way to do this?
