Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Returns a value that indicates whether the current Tuple<T1> object is equal to a specified object.

public:
 override bool Equals(System::Object ^ obj);

public override bool Equals (object obj);

public override bool Equals (object? obj);

override this.Equals : obj -> bool

Public Overrides Function Equals (obj As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

obj: Object

The object to compare with this instance.

Returns

Boolean

true if the current instance is equal to the specified object; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following example calls the Tuple<T1>.Equals(Object) method to compare a Tuple<T1> object whose component is a Double value with three Tuple<T1> objects whose components have the following characteristics:

Same type (Double) and same value.
Same type (Double), but different value.
Different type (Single), but same value.

Remarks

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

It is a Tuple<T1> object.
Its single component is of the same type as the current instance.
Its single component is equal to that of the current instance. Equality is determined by the default object equality comparer for each component.
