Enum.Equals Method (Object)
.NET Framework 3.0
Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified object.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public boolean Equals ( Object obj )
public override function Equals ( obj : Object ) : boolean
Not applicable.
Parameters
- obj
An object to compare with this instance, or a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Return Value
true if obj is an Enum with the same underlying type and value as this instance; otherwise, false.The following example illustrates the use of Equals in the context of Enum.
using namespace System; enum class Colors { Red, Green, Blue, Yellow }; enum class Mammals { Cat, Dog, Horse, Dolphin }; int main() { Mammals myPet = Mammals::Cat; Colors myColor = Colors::Red; Mammals yourPet = Mammals::Dog; Colors yourColor = Colors::Red; Console::WriteLine( "My favorite animal is a {0}", myPet ); Console::WriteLine( "Your favorite animal is a {0}", yourPet ); Console::WriteLine( "Do we like the same animal? {0}", myPet.Equals( yourPet ) ? (String^)"Yes" : "No" ); Console::WriteLine(); Console::WriteLine( "My favorite color is {0}", myColor ); Console::WriteLine( "Your favorite color is {0}", yourColor ); Console::WriteLine( "Do we like the same color? {0}", myColor.Equals( yourColor ) ? (String^)"Yes" : "No" ); Console::WriteLine(); Console::WriteLine( "The value of my color ({0}) is {1}", myColor, Enum::Format( Colors::typeid, myColor, "d" ) ); Console::WriteLine( "The value of my pet (a {0}) is {1}", myPet, Enum::Format( Mammals::typeid, myPet, "d" ) ); Console::WriteLine( "Even though they have the same value, are they equal? {0}", myColor.Equals( myPet ) ? (String^)"Yes" : "No" ); }
