TimeSpan.Equals Method (TimeSpan)
.NET Framework (current version)
Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified TimeSpan object.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- obj
-
Type:
System.TimeSpan
An object to compare with this instance.
Return Value
Type: System.Booleantrue if obj represents the same time interval as this instance; otherwise, false.
Implements
IEquatable<T>.Equals(T)This method implements the System.IEquatable<T> interface, and performs slightly better than Equals because it does not have to convert the obj parameter to an object.
The following example demonstrates generic and nongeneric versions of the CompareTo method for several value and reference types.
