Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

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

'Usage
 
Dim instance As TdTimestamp
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: TdTimestamp instance that will be compared to this instance of TdTimestamp.

Return Value

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

Remarks

The boolean that is returned indicates the following conditions:

false will be returned if:

This instance or obj is TdTimestamp.Null.
This instance is not equal to obj.
obj is not of type TdTimestamp 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:

TdTimestamp  later = new TdTimestamp(new DateTime(2010, 8, 31, 23, 30, 0));
Object earlier = new TdTimestamp(new DateTime(2010, 8, 31, 15, 21, 0));
 
// The following comparison is equivalent to using
//    false == TdTimestamp.Equals(later, (TdTimestamp) earlier)
//    later != (TdTimestamp) earlier
//    true == TdTimestamp.NotEquals(later, (TdTimestamp) earlier)
//    
if (false == later.Equals(earlier))
{
   Console.WriteLine(“later does not equal earlier”);
}
