    text
    copied!<p>First off, I'm using <a href="https://code.google.com/p/tweener-dotnet/" rel="nofollow">tweener-dotnet</a> for my tweening. This is where my issues are stemming from, and I'm not a skilled enough coder to change tweener into something more flexible.</p> <p>In my main namespace, I have a struct called Vitals that contains a couple integers and a string. In my main class inside that namespace, I have a variable called VitalSigns of the type Vitals (the struct), and I have no trouble in any of my main code adjusting VitalSigns.EKG_BPM or anything.</p> <p>The problem comes when I try to tween something within VitalSigns -- first off, the documentation in Tweener is pretty good, but it's lacking a single example of how to use it, so I spent hours trying to figure that out -- Tweener starts working through its processes, and it hangs up where it tries to <em>the object I told it to use (the struct)</em>.GetType().GetProperty(*the property I told it to look for, specifically EKG_BPM*). This returns a null value, which breaks a float.Parse a few lines down (line 194).</p> <p>I know it's not how I'm sending the info -- if I use a NumericUpDown and adjust its Value, I can get beyond this error and error out on line 215 (Tweener only works in floats, it seems, and breaks on Decimals or Int32s).</p> <p>I've searched for solutions, and the one I've found that seems to be the most promising is that I have to box up the value -- forgive me if I'm wrong, but they're saying that I create a new variable of the same type that I want to adjust, make that equal VitalSigns.EKG_BPM, adjust the new variable, then make EKG_BPM = the new variable -- and that seems like a totally valid option until I look into how Tweener functions.</p> <p>Tweener specifically looks for a variable contained within an object -- It wants VitalSigns.EKG_BPM and not tempEKG_BPM.</p> <p>So, I'm at a total loss on what to do.</p> <p>Oh, in case you want to see my code up close, here's a zip of my project: <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3145077/Vital%20Signs%20Monitor.zip" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3145077/Vital%20Signs%20Monitor.zip</a></p>
