Type.Equals Method (Object)
Silverlight
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- o
- Type: System.Object
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. This method also returns false if the object specified by the o parameter is not a Type.
This method overrides Object.Equals.
The following example uses Equals to compare two Object instances.

Imports System.Reflection Class Example Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock) Dim a As Type = GetType(System.Object) Dim b As Type = GetType(System.Object) outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} = {1}: {2}", a, b, a.Equals(b)) & vbCrLf ' The Type objects in a and b are equal, ' because they represent System.Object. a = GetType(Example) b = New Example().GetType() outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} is equal to {1}: {2}", a, b, a.Equals(b)) & vbCrLf ' The Type objects in a and b are equal, ' because they both represent type Example. b = GetType([Object]) outputBlock.Text += String.Format("typeof({0}).Equals(typeof({1})): {2}", a, b, a.Equals(b)) & vbCrLf ' The Type objects in a and b are not equal, ' because variable a represents type Example ' and variable b represents type Object. 'Console.ReadLine(); End Sub End Class ' ' This code example produces the following output: ' System.Object = System.Object: True ' Example is equal to Example: True ' typeof(Example).Equals(typeof(System.Type)): False '
