|
|
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
