Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified object.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function Equals ( _
    obj As Object _
) As Boolean

public override bool Equals(
    Object obj
)

Parameters

obj
Type: System.Object
An object to compare with this instance.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if obj is an instance of UInt32 and equals the value of this instance; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the Equals method.

Dim myVariable1 As UInt32 = UInt32.Parse(20)
Dim myVariable2 As UInt32 = UInt32.Parse(20)

' Display the declaring type.
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.NewLine + "Type of 'myVariable1' is '{0}' and" + _
         " value is :{1}", myVariable1.GetType().ToString(), myVariable1.ToString()) + vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Type of 'myVariable2' is '{0}' and" + _
      " value is :{1}", myVariable2.GetType().ToString(), myVariable2.ToString()) + vbCrLf
' Compare 'myVariable1' instance with 'myVariable2' Object.
If myVariable1.Equals(myVariable2) Then
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.NewLine + "Structures 'myVariable1' and" + _
      " 'myVariable2' are equal") + vbCrLf
Else
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.NewLine + "Structures 'myVariable1' and" + _
         " 'myVariable2' are not equal") + vbCrLf
End If

UInt32 myVariable1 = 20;
UInt32 myVariable2 = 20;

// Display the declaring type.
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\nType of 'myVariable1' is '{0}' and" +
     " value is :{1}", myVariable1.GetType(), myVariable1) + "\n";
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Type of 'myVariable2' is '{0}' and" +
     " value is :{1}", myVariable2.GetType(), myVariable2) + "\n";

// Compare 'myVariable1' instance with 'myVariable2' Object.
if (myVariable1.Equals(myVariable2))
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\nStructures 'myVariable1' and " +
         "'myVariable2' are equal") + "\n";
else
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\nStructures 'myVariable1' and " +
         "'myVariable2' are not equal") + "\n";
