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 TdPeriodTimestamp
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 TdPeriodTimestamp that will be compared to this instance of TdPeriodTimestamp.

Return Value

true is returned if the two TdPeriodTimestamps 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 TdPeriodTimestamp.Null.
This instance is not equal to obj.
obj is not of type TdPeriodTimestamp 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:

TdPeriodTimestamp  later = 
        new TdPeriodTimestamp(new TdTimestamp(2010, 8, 31, 10, 11, 0), 
                              new TdTimestamp(2010, 12, 1, 12, 21, 0));
Object earlier = 
        new TdPeriodTimestamp(new TdTimestamp(2007, 9, 10, 1, 22, 21), 
                              new TdTimestamp(2008, 1, 1, 3, 15, 33));
 
// The following comparison is equivalent to using
//    false == TdTimePeriodstamp.Equals(later, (TdPeriodTimestamp) earlier)
//    later != (TdPeriodTimestamp) earlier
//    true == TdTimestamp.NotEquals(later, (TdPeriodTimestamp) earlier)
//    
if (false == later.Equals(earlier))
{
   Console.WriteLine(“later does not equal earlier”);
}
