Examples

The following example creates a dictionary collection of objects of type Box with an equality comparer. Two boxes are considered equal if their dimensions are the same. It then adds the boxes to the collection.

The dictionary is recreated with an equality comparer that defines equality in a different way: Two boxes are considered equal if their volumes are the same.

Remarks

Derive from this class to provide a custom implementation of the IEqualityComparer<T> generic interface for use with collection classes such as the Dictionary<TKey,TValue> generic class, or with methods such as List<T>.Sort.

The Default property checks whether type T implements the System.IEquatable<T> generic interface and, if so, returns an EqualityComparer<T> that invokes the implementation of the IEquatable<T>.Equals method. Otherwise, it returns an EqualityComparer<T>, as provided by T.

In .NET 8 and later versions, we recommend using the EqualityComparer<T>.Create(Func<T,T,Boolean>, Func<T,Int32>) method to create instances of this type.

Constructors

EqualityComparer<T>()

Initializes a new instance of the EqualityComparer<T> class.

Properties

Default

Returns a default equality comparer for the type specified by the generic argument.

Methods

Create(Func<T,T,Boolean>, Func<T,Int32>)

Creates an EqualityComparer<T> by using the specified delegates as the implementation of the comparer's Equals(T, T) and GetHashCode(T) methods.

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
Equals(T, T)

When overridden in a derived class, determines whether two objects of type T are equal.

GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode(T)

When overridden in a derived class, serves as a hash function for the specified object for hashing algorithms and data structures, such as a hash table.

GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

(Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

IEqualityComparer.Equals(Object, Object)

Determines whether the specified objects are equal.

IEqualityComparer.GetHashCode(Object)

Returns a hash code for the specified object.
