Remarks

The Equality method defines the operation of the equality operator for Decimal values. It enables code such as the following:

C#
using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Decimal number1 = 16354.0695m;
      Decimal number2 = 16354.0699m;
      Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}: {2}", number1,
                        number2, number1 == number2);

      number1 = Decimal.Round(number1, 2);
      number2 = Decimal.Round(number2, 2);
      Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}: {2}", number1,
                        number2, number1 == number2);
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       16354.0695 = 16354.0699: False
//       16354.07 = 16354.07: True

If the language you're using doesn't support custom operators, call the Equals method instead.

The equivalent method for this operator is Decimal.Equals(Object)
