Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest>.IStructuralEquatable.Equals Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns a value that indicates whether the current Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> object is equal to a specified object based on a specified comparison method.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Private Function Equals ( _
    other As Object, _
    comparer As IEqualityComparer _
) As Boolean Implements IStructuralEquatable.Equals
bool IStructuralEquatable.Equals(
    Object other,
    IEqualityComparer comparer
)

Parameters

  • other
    Type: System.Object
    The object to compare with this instance.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the current instance is equal to the specified object; otherwise, false.

Implements

IStructuralEquatable.Equals(Object, IEqualityComparer)

Remarks

This member is an explicit interface member implementation. It can be used only when the Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> instance is cast to an IStructuralEquatable interface.

The IEqualityComparer.Equals implementation is called only if other is not nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), and if it can be successfully cast (in C#) or converted (in Visual Basic) to a Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> object that has the same total number of components (including those in nested Tuple objects) of the same types as the current instance. The IStructuralEquatable.Equals(Object, IEqualityComparer) method first passes the Item1 values of the Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> objects to be compared to the IEqualityComparer.Equals implementation. If this method call returns true, the method is called again and passed the Item2 values of the two Tuple<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, TRest> objects. This continues until the method call returns false when it compares a specific pair of values, or the two Rest values are passed to the method.
