Equals(Object) Method

Compares this instance against to determine whether they are equal.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Overrides Function Equals( _
   ByVal obj As Object _
) As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As TdPeriodTime
Dim obj As Object
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.Equals(obj)

public override bool Equals( 
   object obj
)

public:
bool Equals( 
   Object^ obj
) override

Parameters

obj: A TdPeriodTime that will be compared to this instance of TdPeriodTime.

Return Value

true is returned if the two TdPeriodTimes are equal, false otherwise.

Remarks

In order for two periods to be equivalent both their beginning and ending bounds must be equivalent.

The boolean that is returned indicates the following conditions:

false will be returned if:

This instance or obj is TdPeriodTime.Null.
This instance is not equal to obj.
obj is not of type TdPeriodTime or null.

true will be returned if:

This instance and obj are Null.
This instance is equal to obj.

Example

The following code example uses various comparison methods and operators:

TdPeriodTime  later = new TdPeriodTime(new TdTime(20, 8, 31), new TdTime(20, 12, 1));
Object earlier = new TdPeriodTime(new TdTime(10, 9, 10), new TdTime(11, 1, 1));
 
// The following comparison is equivalent to using
//    false == TdPeriodTime.Equals(later, (TdPeriodTime) earlier)
//    later != (TdPeriodTime) earlier
//    true == TdPeriodTime.NotEquals(later, (TdPeriodTime) earlier)
//    
if (false == later.Equals(earlier))
{
   Console.WriteLine(“later does not equal earlier”);
}

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019
