Tuple<T1, T2>.Equals Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns a value that indicates whether the current Tuple<T1, T2> object 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
    The object to compare with this instance.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the current instance is equal to the specified object; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The obj parameter is considered to be equal to the current instance under the following conditions:

  • It is a Tuple<T1, T2> object.

  • Its two components are of the same types as the current instance.

  • Its two components have the same values as those of the current instance.

Examples

The following example calls the Tuple<T1, T2>.Equals(Object) method to determine whether any of the objects in an array of Tuple<T1, T2> objects are equal to one another. The output reflects the fact that the Equals(Object) method returns true when comparing Tuple<T1, T2> objects whose components have equal values.

Module Example
   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      Dim scores() As Tuple(Of String, Nullable(Of Integer)) = _ 
                      { New Tuple(Of String, Nullable(Of Integer))("Dan", 90), _
                        New Tuple(Of String, Nullable(Of Integer))("Ernie", Nothing), _
                        New Tuple(Of String, Nullable(Of Integer))("Jill", 88), _      
                        New Tuple(Of String, Nullable(Of Integer))("Ernie", Nothing), _ 
                        New Tuple(Of String, Nullable(Of Integer))("Nancy", 88), _ 
                        New Tuple(Of String, Nullable(Of Integer))("Dan", 90) }

      ' Compare the Tuple objects
      For ctr As Integer = 0 To scores.Length - 1
         Dim currentTuple As Tuple(Of String, Nullable(Of Integer)) = scores(ctr)
         For innerCtr As Integer = ctr + 1 To scores.Length - 1
            outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} = {1}: {2}", _
                              scores(ctr), scores(innerCtr), _ 
                              scores(ctr).Equals(scores(innerCtr))) + vbCrLf
         Next
         outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
      Next
