Returns a value indicating whether two instances of XName are not equal.
public:
static bool operator !=(System::Xml::Linq::XName ^ left, System::Xml::Linq::XName ^ right);
public static bool operator != (System.Xml.Linq.XName left, System.Xml.Linq.XName right);
public static bool operator != (System.Xml.Linq.XName? left, System.Xml.Linq.XName? right);
static member op_Inequality : System.Xml.Linq.XName * System.Xml.Linq.XName -> bool
Public Shared Operator != (left As XName, right As XName) As Boolean
Parameters
Returns
true
if left
and right
are not equal; otherwise false
.
Examples
The following C# example compares an XName object to a string, which invokes this operator.
XNamespace aw = "http://www.adventure-works.com";
XElement root = new XElement(aw + "Root", "content");
Console.WriteLine(root.Name != "{http://www.adventure-works.com}Root");
// the following is the preferred idiom
Console.WriteLine(root.Name != aw + "Root");
Imports <xmlns="http://www.adventure-works.com">
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim root As XElement = <Root>content</Root>
Console.WriteLine(root.Name <> "{http://www.adventure-works.com}Root")
' the following is the preferred idiom
Console.WriteLine(root.Name <> GetXmlNamespace() + "Root")
End Sub
End Module
This example produces the following output:
False
False
Remarks
The operator overloads ==
and !=
are included to enable comparisons between XName and a string, such aselement.Name == "SomeElementName"
. The predefined reference equality operators in C# require one operand to be convertible to the type of the other through reference conversions only. These operators do not consider the implicit conversion from string to XName.
