Type: System.Booleantrue if obj is an instance of Int16 and equals the value of this instance; otherwise, false.
The following code example illustrates the use of Equals in the context of Int16, comparing two short values and returning true if they represent the same number, or false if they do not.
Dim myVariable1 As Int16 = 20 Dim myVariable2 As Int16 = 20 ' Get and display the declaring type. outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.NewLine + "Type of 'myVariable1' is '{0}' and" + _ " value is :{1}", myVariable1.GetType().ToString(), myVariable1.ToString()) + vbCrLf outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Type of 'myVariable2' is '{0}' and" + _ " value is :{1}", myVariable2.GetType().ToString(), myVariable2.ToString()) + vbCrLf ' Compare 'myVariable1' instance with 'myVariable2' Object. If myVariable1.Equals(myVariable2) Then outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.NewLine + "Structures 'myVariable1' and " + _ "'myVariable2' are equal") + vbCrLf Else outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.NewLine + "Structures 'myVariable1' and " + _ "'myVariable2' are not equal") + vbCrLf End If
