When I try to SET an attribute from another class to another it doesn't allow me to.

Question

Here's the class:

namespace TomeOfNewerth_WPF_
{
    class Hero
    {
        public string faction;
        public string name;
        public HeroType herotype;

        public enum HeroType
        {
            Agility,
            Strength,
            Intelligence
        }
    }
}

Now in another class, just for testing I'm tring to instance the Hero class, and set the herotype property, like so:

namespace TomeOfNewerth_WPF_
{
    class Spell
    {
        Hero x = new Hero();

        public void lol()
        {
            x.herotype = x.; //How can I set it?
        }
    }
}

The only reason I created the herotype property from an Enum was to make the application more robust and not rely on literal strings.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

x.herotype = HeroType.Agility; is normally the code to set it. You will need to move HeroType outside of the class for this to work.

For what it's worth, this might be better off in a constructor, and you should look into exposing class information through Properties instead of public member variables.
