Decimal::Equals Method (Object)
Visual Studio 2010
Returns a value indicating whether this instance and a specified Object represent the same type and value.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System::Object
The object to compare with this instance.
Return Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if value is a Decimal and equal to this instance; otherwise, false.
The following code example compares several Decimal and other objects to a reference Decimal value using the Equals method.
// Example of the Decimal::CompareTo and Decimal::Equals instance // methods. using namespace System; // Get the exception type name; remove the namespace prefix. String^ GetExceptionType( Exception^ ex ) { String^ exceptionType = ex->GetType()->ToString(); return exceptionType->Substring( exceptionType->LastIndexOf( '.' ) + 1 ); } // Compare the Decimal to the Object parameters, // and display the Object parameters with the results. void CompDecimalToObject( Decimal Left, Object^ Right, String^ RightText ) { Console::WriteLine( "{0,-46}{1}", String::Concat( "Object: ", RightText ), Right ); Console::WriteLine( "{0,-46}{1}", "Left.Equals( Object )", Left.Equals( Right ) ); Console::Write( "{0,-46}", "Left.CompareTo( Object )" ); try { // Catch the exception if CompareTo( ) throws one. Console::WriteLine( "{0}\n", Left.CompareTo( Right ) ); } catch ( Exception^ ex ) { Console::WriteLine( "{0}\n", GetExceptionType( ex ) ); } } int main() { Console::WriteLine( "This example of the Decimal::Equals( Object* ) and \n" "Decimal::CompareTo( Object* ) methods generates the \n" "following output.
