I wrote a bunch of code and i would like to fix it the fastest way possible. I'll describe my problem in a easier way.

I have apples and oranges, they are both Point and in the list apples, oranges. I create a PictureBox and draw the apple/oranges on screen and move them around and update the Point via Tag.

The problem now is since its a struct the tag is a copy so the original elements in the list are not update. So, how do i update them? I consider using Point? But those seem to be readonly. So the only solution i can think of is

  • Clear the list, iterate through all the controls then check the picturebox property to check if the image is a apple or orange then add it to a list

I really only thought of this solution typing this question, but my main question is, is there a better way? Is there some List<Ptr<Point>> class i can use so when i update the apples or oranges through the tag the element in the list will update as a class would?
