Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- o
- Type: System.Type
The object whose underlying system type is to be compared with the underlying system type of the current Type.
Return Value
Type: System.Booleantrue if the underlying system type of o is the same as the underlying system type of the current Type; otherwise, false.
Implements
_Type.Equals(Type)The following example uses Equals to compare two types.
using System; using System.Reflection; class Example { public static void Main() { Type a = typeof(System.String); Type b = typeof(System.Int32); Console.WriteLine("{0} == {1}: {2}", a, b, a.Equals(b)); // The Type objects in a and b are not equal, // because they represent different types. a = typeof(Example); b = new Example().GetType(); Console.WriteLine("{0} is equal to {1}: {2}", a, b, a.Equals(b)); // The Type objects in a and b are equal, // because they both represent type Example. b = typeof(Type); Console.WriteLine("typeof({0}).Equals(typeof({1})): {2}", a, b, a.Equals(b)); // The Type objects in a and b are not equal, // because variable a represents type Example // and variable b represents type Type. //Console.ReadLine(); } } // /* This code example produces the following output: System.String == System.Int32: False Example is equal to Example: True typeof(Example).Equals(typeof(System.Type)): False */
