Remarks
This method is a wrapper for the Equals(T, T) method, so obj must be cast to the type specified by the generic argument T of the current instance. If it cannot be cast to T, an ArgumentException is thrown.
Comparing nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is allowed and does not generate an exception.
