Object::ReferenceEquals Method
Silverlight
Updated: October 2010
Determines whether the specified object instances are the same instance.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- objA
- Type: System::Object
The first object to compare.
- objB
- Type: System::Object
The second object to compare.
Return Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if objA is the same instance as objB or if both are nullptr; otherwise, false.
Unlike the Equals method and the equality operator, the ReferenceEquals method cannot be overridden. Because of this, if you want to test two object references for equality and are unsure about the implementation of the Equals method, you can call the ReferenceEquals method. However, note that if objA and objB are value types, they are boxed before they are passed to the ReferenceEquals method.
