Attribute.Match(Object) Method

Definition

When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object.

public:
 virtual bool Match(System::Object ^ obj);
public virtual bool Match (object? obj);
public virtual bool Match (object obj);
abstract member Match : obj -> bool
override this.Match : obj -> bool
Public Overridable Function Match (obj As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

obj
Object

An Object to compare with this instance of Attribute.

Returns

true if this instance equals obj; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This method determines if one Attribute equals another. Its default implementation is the same as Equals, which determines whether two attributes are of the same type and have the same field values.

In general, the Equals method is intended to perform a standard test for reference or value equality. You can override the Match method when you want to perform a custom comparison for equality that is based on some criteria other than that two attribute instances are of the same type and have identical values. For example, you can override the Match method to compare attributes in the following scenarios:

  • An attribute includes a bit field, and you consider two attribute instances equal if a particular bit is set. For example, a NumericDisplay attribute might include a bit field that indicates what numeric formats (such as binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal) a client supports. The overridden Match method might consider two instances equal if they support the same numeric format.

  • An attribute includes multiple fields that contain the same kind of information, or it contains an array in which values can be in any order. For example, an Author attribute might include multiple fields for author names. The overridden Match method might consider two instances equal if they have the same authors regardless of whether each field is equal to the corresponding field.

Example

The following example illustrates the use of Match to create a custom comparison method for attribute values. If defines an AuthorsAttribute that internally contains a List<String> that stores authors' names. Because the names can occur in any order in the list, it overrides the Match method to compare author names regardless of their position in the list. Note the Equals method, which performs a test for value equality, returns different results from the Match method.
