When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether two objects are equal.
public:
virtual bool Equals(System::Object ^ x, System::Object ^ y);public:
bool Equals(System::Object ^ x, System::Object ^ y);public bool Equals(object? x, object? y);public bool Equals(object x, object y);override this.Equals : obj * obj -> boolPublic Function Equals (x As Object, y As Object) As BooleanParameters
- x
- Object
An object to compare to y.
- y
- Object
An object to compare to x.
Returns
true if x and y refer to the same object, or x and y are both the same type of object and those objects are equal, or both x and y are null; otherwise, false.
Implements
Remarks
Because the runtime does not have to unbox x or y if they are value types or attempt to downcast x or y to strings if they are reference types, the Equals(String, String) method may be slightly more efficient than the Equals(Object, Object) method.
