ValueType::Equals Method

Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.

Parameters

obj
Type: System::Object
Another object to compare to.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean
true if obj and this instance are the same type and represent the same value; otherwise, false.

The default implementation of the Equals method uses reflection to compare the corresponding fields of obj and this instance. Override the Equals method for a particular type to improve the performance of the method and more closely represent the concept of equality for the type.

The following example demonstrates how the Equals method can be overridden by a derived value type.
