Color.Equals Method (Color, Color)

.NET Framework 3.5

Other Versions

Tests whether two Color structures are identical.

Namespace: System.Windows.Media
Assembly: PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)

Syntax

C++

JScript

public static bool Equals(
	Color color1,
	Color color2
)

XAML

You cannot use methods in XAML.

Parameters

color1: Type: System.Windows.Media.Color
The first Color structure to compare.

color2: Type: System.Windows.Media.Color
The second Color structure to compare.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if color1 and color2 are exactly identical; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Floating-point values can acquire a small degree of error when they are operated upon. The Equals method, the Equality operator, and the Inequality operator do not compensate for this and thus may not return the expected Boolean result.

The AreClose method uses a fuzzy equality algorithm that compensates for this floating-point arithmetic error by returning true for a comparison of two Color structures that are practically identical, but whose values may differ by a minuscule amount.

Platforms

Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003

The .NET Framework and .NET Compact Framework do not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
