title: Changing the BackColor of a Windows Form
body: <p>Why can't I change the backcolor of my form this way?</p>
  
  <pre><code>MainForm.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what I get in the console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.BackColor.get' (CS0120) 
  </code></pre>
