Returns a value indicating whether this instance 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
An object to compare with this instance.
Return Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if obj is an instance of an Int64 and equals the value of this instance; otherwise, false.
Examples
The following code example illustrates the use of Equals in the context of Int64, comparing two long values and returning true if they represent the same number, or false if they do not.
Dim myVariable1 As Int64 = 80
Dim myVariable2 As Int64 = 80
' Get and display the declaring type.
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.NewLine + "Type of 'myVariable1' is '{0}' and" + _
" value is :{1}", myVariable1.GetType().ToString(), myVariable1.ToString()) + vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Type of 'myVariable2' is '{0}' and" + _
" value is :{1}", myVariable2.GetType().ToString(), myVariable2.ToString()) + vbCrLf
' Compare 'myVariable1' instance with 'myVariable2' Object.
If myVariable1.Equals(myVariable2) Then
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.NewLine + "Structures 'myVariable1' and " + _
"'myVariable2' are equal") + vbCrLf
Else
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(ControlChars.NewLine + "Structures 'myVariable1' and " + _
"'myVariable2' are not equal") + vbCrLf
End If
Int64 myVariable1 = 80;
Int64 myVariable2 = 80;
// Get and display the declaring type.
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\nType of 'myVariable1' is '{0}' and" +
" value is :{1}", myVariable1.GetType(), myVariable1) + "\n";
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Type of 'myVariable2' is '{0}' and" +
" value is :{1}", myVariable2.GetType(), myVariable2) + "\n";
// Compare 'myVariable1' instance with 'myVariable2' Object.
if (myVariable1.Equals(myVariable2))
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\nStructures 'myVariable1' and " +
"'myVariable2' are equal") + "\n";
else
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\nStructures 'myVariable1' and " +
"'myVariable2' are not equal") + "\n";
