public override bool Equals (object? key2);

public override bool Equals (object key2);

override this.Equals : obj -> bool

Public Overrides Function Equals (key2 As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

key2: Object

The object to which this UniqueConstraint is compared.

Returns

Boolean

Examples

The following example compares two UniqueConstraint objects.

Private Sub CompareConstraints()
    Dim constraintCustomerOrders As UniqueConstraint
    Dim constraintOrderDetails As UniqueConstraint
    Dim relationCustomerOrders As DataRelation
    Dim relationOrderDetails As DataRelation

    ' Get a DataRelation from a DataSet.
    relationCustomerOrders = DataSet1.Relations("CustomerOrders")

    '  Get a constraint.
    constraintCustomerOrders = relationCustomerOrders.ParentKeyConstraint

    ' Get a second relation and constraint.
    relationOrderDetails = DataSet1.Relations("OrderDetails")
    constraintOrderDetails = relationOrderDetails.ParentKeyConstraint

    ' Compare the two.
    Console.WriteLine( _
        constraintCustomerOrders.Equals(constraintOrderDetails).ToString())
