Match Method (NodeDescriptor)

Determines whether the node descriptor matches another node descriptor.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public Function Match( _
   ByVal other As NodeDescriptor _
) As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As NodeDescriptor
Dim other As NodeDescriptor
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.Match(other)

public bool Match( 
   NodeDescriptor other
)

public:
bool Match( 
   NodeDescriptor^ other
)

Parameters

other: The node descriptor to match against.

Return Value

Returns true if two node descriptors match; otherwise, returns false.

Remarks

Two node descriptors match if any information that is present in both node descriptors is equal. For example, if a node Id in one of the node descriptors is not present (null), a node Id in the other node descriptor can be anything, or also not present. But if a node Id is present in both node descriptors, it must be the same node Id. Same rules apply to the browse path portion of the node descriptor.
