Returns a value indicating whether two instances of XName are not equal.

public:
 static bool operator !=(System::Xml::Linq::XName ^ left, System::Xml::Linq::XName ^ right);

public static bool operator !=(System.Xml.Linq.XName left, System.Xml.Linq.XName right);

public static bool operator !=(System.Xml.Linq.XName? left, System.Xml.Linq.XName? right);

static member op_Inequality : System.Xml.Linq.XName * System.Xml.Linq.XName -> bool

Public Shared Operator != (left As XName, right As XName) As Boolean

Parameters

left: XName

The first XName to compare.

right: XName

The second XName to compare.

Returns

Boolean

true if left and right are not equal; otherwise false.

Examples

The following C# example compares an XName object to a string, which invokes this operator.

XNamespace aw = "http://www.adventure-works.com";
XElement root = new XElement(aw + "Root", "content");

Console.WriteLine(root.Name != "{http://www.adventure-works.com}Root");

// the following is the preferred idiom
Console.WriteLine(root.Name != aw + "Root");

Imports <xmlns="http://www.adventure-works.com">

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim root As XElement = <Root>content</Root>
        Console.WriteLine(root.Name <> "{http://www.adventure-works.com}Root")

        ' the following is the preferred idiom
        Console.WriteLine(root.Name <> GetXmlNamespace() + "Root")
    End Sub
End Module

This example produces the following output:

False
False

Remarks

The operator overloads == and != are included to enable comparisons between XName and a string, such aselement.Name == "SomeElementName". The predefined reference equality operators in C# require one operand to be convertible to the type of the other through reference conversions only. These operators do not consider the implicit conversion from string to XName.
