Creating a rectangle within a class - visual-studio-2010

Question

So basically I'm trying to figure out how to implement rectangles with in a class around each bullet I fire. It's a missile command type game. What I can't figure out is WHERE I would declare the Rectangle and how I would pass it to the game.
Here the code for my rocket class...
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
namespace ShootingRocket
{
public class Rocket
{
public Texture2D DrawTexture { get; set; }
public Vector2 Position { get; set; }
public Vector2 Direction { get; set; }
public float Rotation { get; set; }
public float Speed { get; set; }
public bool IsShooting { get; set; }
int timeBetweenShots = 100;
int shotTimer = 0;
public Rocket(Texture2D texture, Vector2 position, Vector2 direction, float rotation, float Speed)
{
this.DrawTexture = texture;
this.Position = position;
this.Direction = direction;
this.Rotation = rotation;
this.Speed = Speed;
this.IsShooting = false;
}
public void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{
this.Position += Direction * Speed;
if (IsShooting)
{
shotTimer += gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.Milliseconds;
if (shotTimer > timeBetweenShots)
{
shotTimer = 0;
ProjectileManager.AddBullet(this.Position, this.Direction, 12, 2000, BulletType.Player);
}
}
}
public void Draw(SpriteBatch spriteBatch)
{
spriteBatch.Draw(
this.DrawTexture,
this.Position,
null,
Color.White,
this.Rotation,
new Vector2(
this.DrawTexture.Width / 2,
this.DrawTexture.Height / 2),
1.0f,
SpriteEffects.None,
1.0f);
Here is the code for my bullet class...
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
namespace ShootingRocket
{
public enum BulletType { Player, Enemy }
public class Bullet
{
public BulletType Type { get; set; }
public Texture2D DrawTexture { get; set; }
public Vector2 Position { get; set; }
public Vector2 Direction { get; set; }
public float Speed { get; set; }
public int ActiveTime { get; set; }
public int TotalActiveTime { get; set; }
public Bullet(Texture2D texture, Vector2 position, Vector2 direction, float speed, int activeTime, BulletType type)
{
this.DrawTexture = texture;
this.Position = position;
this.Direction = direction;
this.Speed = speed;
this.ActiveTime = activeTime;
this.Type = type;
this.TotalActiveTime = 0;
}
public void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{
this.Position += Direction * Speed;
this.TotalActiveTime += gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.Milliseconds;
}
public void Draw(SpriteBatch spriteBatch)
{
spriteBatch.Draw(
DrawTexture,
Position,
null,
Color.White,
0f,
new Vector2(
DrawTexture.Width / 2,
DrawTexture.Height / 2),
1.0f,
SpriteEffects.None,
0.8f);
}
}
}
And last but not least my Projectile Manager class...
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GamerServices;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media;
namespace ShootingRocket
{
public class ProjectileManager : DrawableGameComponent
{
static List<Bullet> bullets = new List<Bullet>();
static Texture2D playerBulletTexture;
SpriteBatch spriteBatch;
public ProjectileManager(Game game, SpriteBatch spriteBatch)
: base(game)
{
game.Components.Add(this);
playerBulletTexture = game.Content.Load<Texture2D>("Bullet");
this.spriteBatch = spriteBatch;
}
public override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
{
for(int i = 0; i < bullets.Count; i++)
{
bullets[i].Update(gameTime);
if (bullets[i].TotalActiveTime > bullets[i].ActiveTime)
bullets.RemoveAt(i);
}
base.Update(gameTime);
}
public override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
{
foreach (Bullet b in bullets)
{
b.Draw(spriteBatch);
}
base.Draw(gameTime);
}
public static void AddBullet(Vector2 position, Vector2 direction, float speed, int activeTime, BulletType type)
{
bullets.Add(new Bullet(playerBulletTexture, position, direction, speed, activeTime, type));
}
}
}
any help is GREATLY appreciated!

public Rectangle collisionRec {get; private set;}
Then in the update method of the bullet you update the rectangle coordinates.
collisionRec = new Rectangle(position.X, position.Y, spriteWidth, spriteHeight);
You are probably maintaining a list of all those bullets in game1 or somewhere.
foreach (Bullet b in bulletList)
{
if (b.collisionRec.Intersects(someOtherRec))
{
//Do some stuff.
}
}
