Question:
I don't know the correct technical terms to describe my question, so I'll give an example:
private Point _PrivateVect = new Point(); public Point Publicvect { get { return _PrivateVect; } set { _PrivateVect = value; } } The problem is that if I wanted to access Publicvect.X I get the error Cannot modify the return value of 'Publicvect' because it is not a variable. Is there a way around this? Or do I just need to do Publicvect = new Point(NewX, Publicvect.Y); forever?
Solution:1
Yet another reason that mutable structs are evil. One workaround is to expose the dimensions as accessors for convenience:
public Point PublicX { get {return _PrivateVect.X;} set {_PrivateVect.X = value;} } public Point PublicY { get {return _PrivateVect.Y;} set {_PrivateVect.Y = value;} } But other that this; yes you would need to do the new Point(x,y) each time, since Point is a struct. When you access it via a property you get a copy of it, so if you mutate the copy and then discard the copy, you simply lose the change.
Solution:2
The problem you have here is that the Point type is a Value Type. So when you manipulate Pointvect.X you are really manipulating a temporary copy of the value type, which of course has no effect on the original instance.
