Steven,
that was the answer! It was the declaration of bd as an htmlgeneric control
that was missing.
thanks for your help

Hi Gary,

I think Juan's suggestion is good. Also, if you do need to
programmatically
set the bgcolor for page body in codebehind, we need to mark the body as
"runat=server" and assign an ID, also in codebehind, we need to explicitly
declare a protected control member fields to associate that tag. For
example:

<body id="bd" runat="server" >
===================

public class BgColorPage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox txtColor;
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button btnSubmit;
protected HtmlGenericControl bd;
===========================

private void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
System.Drawing.Color bgcolor =
System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml(txtColor.Text);

bd.Style["BACKGROUND-COLOR"] =
System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToHtml(bgcolor);
}
======================

Hope this helps.
