Compiler Warning (level 3) CS0661

'class' defines operator == or operator != but does not override Object.GetHashCode()

The compiler detected the user-defined equality or inequality operator, but no override for the GetHashCode function. A user-defined equality or inequality operator implies that you also want to override the GetHashCode function.

The following sample generates CS0661:

// CS0661.cs  
// compile with: /W:3  
class Test   // CS0661  
{  
   public static bool operator == (object o, Test t)  
   {  
      return true;  
   }  
  
   public static bool operator != (object o, Test t)  
   {  
      return true;  
   }  
  
   public override bool Equals(object o)  
   {  
      return true;  
   }  
  
   // uncomment the GetHashCode function to resolve  
   // public override int GetHashCode()  
   // {  
   //    return 0;  
   // }  
  
   public static void Main()  
   {  
   }  
}
