Equality Operator

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Determines whether the specified delegates are equal.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Operator = ( _
    d1 As Delegate, _
    d2 As Delegate _
) As Boolean

public static bool operator ==(
    Delegate d1,
    Delegate d2
)

public:
static bool operator ==(
    Delegate^ d1, 
    Delegate^ d2
)

static let inline (=)
        d1:Delegate * 
        d2:Delegate  : bool

JScript does not support overloaded operators.

Parameters

• d1
  Type: System. . :: . .Delegate
  The first delegate to compare.

• d2
  Type: System. . :: . .Delegate
  The second delegate to compare.

Return Value

Type: System. . :: . .Boolean
true if d1 is equal to d2; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Two delegates of the same type with the same targets, methods, and invocation lists are considered equal.

If the two delegates are not of the same type, they are not considered equal.

The methods and targets are compared for equality as follows:

• If the two methods being compared are both static and are the same method on the same class, the methods are considered equal and the targets are also considered equal.

• If the two methods being compared are instance methods and are the same method on the same object, the methods are considered equal and the targets are also considered equal.

• Otherwise, the methods are not considered to be equal and the targets are also not considered to be equal.

Two invocation lists are considered identical if they have the same order and the corresponding elements from the two lists represent the same method and target.

.NET Framework Security

• Full trust for the immediate caller. This member cannot be used by partially trusted code. For more information, see dd66cd4c-b087-415f-9c3e-94e3a1835f74.
