EqualityComparer<T>::IEqualityComparer::Equals Method (Object^, Object^)

 

Determines whether the specified objects are equal.

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

private:
virtual bool Equals(
	Object^ x,
	Object^ y
) sealed = IEqualityComparer::Equals

Parameters

x
Type: System::Object^

The first object to compare.

y
Type: System::Object^

The second object to compare.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if the specified objects are equal; otherwise, false.

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

x or y is of a type that cannot be cast to type T.

This method is a wrapper for the Equals(T, T) method, so obj must be cast to the type specified by the generic argument T of the current instance. If it cannot be cast to T, an ArgumentException is thrown.

Comparing null is allowed and does not generate an exception.
