ValueEquals(Object) Method

Defines a generalized method that classes must implement to create type-specific method for determining value equality of instances. Determines whether this instance has the same value as a given other instance.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Shadows Function ValueEquals( _
   ByVal other As Object _
) As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As NotifyingWidget
Dim other As Object
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.ValueEquals(other)

public new bool ValueEquals( 
   object other
)

public:
new bool ValueEquals( 
   Object^ other
)

Parameters

other: The other instance.

Return Value

A System.Boolean indicating the result.

Remarks

We intentionally allow null to be passed in, in order to match the behavior of System.Object.Equals(System.Object).

This method or property does not throw any exceptions, aside from execution exceptions such as System.Threading.ThreadAbortException or System.OutOfMemoryException.
