Returns a hash code based on an XNode.
Assembly: System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)
Parameters
- obj
- Type: System.Xml.Linq.XNode
The XNode to hash.
Implements
IEqualityComparer(Of T).GetHashCode(T)The XNode implementation of GetHashCode is based on the referential identity of the node. This method computes a deep hash code based on the value of the node and all descendants. The hash code reflects all attributes and all descendent nodes.
The following example uses this method to get a deep hash code for an XML tree.
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder(); XElement xmlTree = new XElement("Root", new XAttribute("Att1", 1), new XAttribute("Att2", 2), new XElement("Child1", 1), new XElement("Child2", "some content") ); XNodeEqualityComparer equalityComparer = new XNodeEqualityComparer(); output.Append("HashCode: " + equalityComparer.GetHashCode(xmlTree).ToString("X") + Environment.NewLine); xmlTree.Add(new XElement("NewChild", "new content")); output.Append("HashCode: " + equalityComparer.GetHashCode(xmlTree).ToString("X") + Environment.NewLine); OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
