[RESOLVED] Changing color based on a duration

[dipique]

I ended up solving my own problem... if anybody else encounters it, here is the code I used:

        //This is the amount of time it takes to get completely red from a green starting state
        const int ci_SecondsToRed = 20;

        public DateTime LastSuccessfulPing;

        public Color GetStatusColor()
        {
            TimeSpan t = DateTime.Now - LastSuccessfulPing;

            //Get the number of seconds that represents
            int NumberOfSeconds = Convert.ToInt32(t.Seconds);

            //If the number is higher than ci_SecondsToRed, make it ci_SecondsToRed (because we're not getting redder than red)
            if (NumberOfSeconds > ci_SecondsToRed) NumberOfSeconds = ci_SecondsToRed;

            //Return a color that goes from green to red over the constant number of seconds
            return Color.FromArgb((255/ci_SecondsToRed)*NumberOfSeconds,(255/ci_SecondsToRed)*(ci_SecondsToRed-NumberOfSeconds),0);
        }

Thanks anyway!
