Equals(Object) Method

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

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

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

Return Value

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

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

true will be returned if:

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

The following code example uses various comparison methods and operators:

C#

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