Question

I have a property for a vector like this

    public Vector2 TestVector
    {
        get { return testvector; }

        set
        {
            testvector = value;

        }
    }

the Vector2 has members X and Y.

When I want to set the property.x and property.y to values, it does not work

// this does not work
TestVector.X = 10;

how do I fix this?

edit: I see I am getting answers saying it’s a struct, but really I have a made up class called dVector2, which is a class type not a struct, and I use that. I only put vector2 here for simplicity, but that backfired.

Answer 1

Another solution nobody mentioned is to just make an accessor method for the X and the Y of each vector you have.

Public float TestVectorX
{
    get { return TestVector.X; }
    set { TestVector.X = value; }
}

Public float TestVectorY
{
    get { return TestVector.Y; }
    set { TestVector.Y = value; }
}

Adds a little more code but doesn’t have the extra memory of declaring a new vector every time or the lost encapsulation from making it completely public.
