Identity.Equals Method

Checks whether two objects are equal.

Namespace:  Microsoft.BusinessData.Runtime
Assembly:  Microsoft.BusinessData (in Microsoft.BusinessData.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function Equals ( _
    obj As Object _
) As Boolean
'Usage
Dim instance As Identity
Dim obj As Object
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = instance.Equals(obj)
public override bool Equals(
    Object obj
)

Parameters

  • obj
    Type: System.Object

    An object to compare another object to.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the objects are equal; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Equals(Object) performs a logical comparison of two identities rather than checking for object equality. If the two identities are temporary and their temporary IDs are equal, or the two identities are not temporary but their identifier counts are equal and each identifier is equal to its counterpart, then the two identities are considered equal.
