Get TextNote color

[esatis]

Hi, 

I want to get text note type color,

but for some strange reason both of these this returns null:

element.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.TEXT_COLOR).AsValueString();
element.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.LINE_COLOR).AsValueString();

 What could be the problem?

The storage type of the parameter LINE_COLOR is integer so you should use Parameter.AsInteger. In RevitLookup LINE_COLOR on the TextNoteType seems to define the colour these days.

You then need to convert the integer to RGB.
