Padding.GetHashCode Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Forms

Assembly:

System.Windows.Forms.Primitives.dll

Generates a hash code for the current Padding.

public:
 override int GetHashCode();

public override readonly int GetHashCode ();

override this.GetHashCode : unit -> int

Public Overrides Function GetHashCode () As Integer

Returns

Int32

A 32-bit signed integer hash code.

Remarks

The GetHashCode method uses the Right, Left, Top, and Bottom values to generate a 32-bit hash code that represents the current Padding.

A hash code is a number that corresponds to the value of an object (so two objects that have the same value should generate the same hash code). Hash codes are used to sort and store collections of objects. For example, a System.Collections.Hashtable represents a collection of key-and-value pairs that are organized based on the hash code of the key.

For more information on hash codes and hash functions, see the Object.GetHashCode method.
