Equals Method

Tuple(Of T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7).Equals Method

[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]

Returns a value that indicates whether the current Tuple(Of T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7) object is equal to a specified object.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function Equals ( _
	obj As Object _
) As Boolean

Parameters

obj
Type: System.Object
The object to compare with this instance.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the current instance is equal to the specified object; otherwise, false.

The obj parameter is considered to be equal to the current instance under the following conditions:

  • It is a Tuple(Of T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7) object.

  • Its seven components are of the same types as the current instance.

  • Its seven components have the same values as those of the current instance.

The following example defines an array of sextuples that contain population data for Los Angeles and New York from 1950 to 2000. The first component of each septuple identifies the city. The first, third, and fourth septuples contain data for New York. The first septuple is a duplicate of the fourth septuple. The third septuple identifies the city as "New York City" instead of "New York". As the example shows, only the fourth septuple is equal to the first septuple.
