Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest>.Equals Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Returns a value that indicates whether the current Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> object is equal to a specified object.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overrides Function Equals ( _
obj As Object _
) As Boolean
public override bool Equals(
Object obj
)
Parameters
- obj
Type: System.Object
The object to compare with this instance.
Return Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the current instance is equal to the specified object; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The obj parameter is considered to be equal to the current instance if it meets all the following conditions:
It is a Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> object.
It has the same total number of components that are of the same types as the current instance.
Its components (including its nested components) have the same values as those of the current instance.
Examples
The following example defines five Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> objects that contain prime numbers. It then compares the first object with each of the remaining objects. As the output shows, only the first and the last Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> objects are equal, because they have an identical number of components with identical values.
