Methods
  Name Description
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Equals(XNode, XNode) Compares the values of two nodes.
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework GetHashCode() Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework GetHashCode(XNode) Returns a hash code based on an XNode.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

The purpose of this class is to implement System.Collections.IEqualityComparer and System.Collections.Generic.IEqualityComparer<T>. Classes that require identity (such as Dictionary<TKey, TValue> ) require an instance of a class that implements one of these interfaces.
