protected:
 virtual bool KeyEquals(System::Object ^ item, System::Object ^ key);

protected virtual bool KeyEquals (object item, object key);

abstract member KeyEquals : obj * obj -> bool
override this.KeyEquals : obj * obj -> bool

Protected Overridable Function KeyEquals (item As Object, key As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

item: Object

The Object to compare with key.

key: Object

The key in the Hashtable to compare with item.

Returns

Boolean

true if item and key are equal; otherwise, false.

If the hash table was created with a specific IComparer implementation, this method uses that comparer; that is, Compare (item, key). Otherwise, it uses item.Equals(key).

This method is an O(1) operation.
