Public Shared Function Equals ( _
    d1 As Decimal, _
    d2 As Decimal _
) As Boolean
[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]

' Example of the Decimal.Compare and static Decimal.Equals methods.

Module Example

   Const dataFmt As String = "{0,-45}{1}"

   ' Compare Decimal parameters, and display them with the results.
   Sub CompareDecimals(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal Left As Decimal, ByVal Right As Decimal, _
       ByVal RightText As String)

      outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(dataFmt, "Right: " & RightText, Right) & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(dataFmt, "Decimal.Equals( Left, Right ) & vbCrLf", _
          Decimal.Equals(Left, Right))
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(dataFmt, _
          "Decimal.Compare( Left, Right )", _
          Decimal.Compare(Left, Right)) + vbCrLf
   End Sub

          "following output. It creates several different " & _
          "Decimal " & vbCrLf & "values and compares them " & _
          "with the following reference value." & vbCrLf + vbCrLf

      Dim Left As New Decimal(123.456)
