C# TypeInfo Equals(Type)

Description

TypeInfo Equals(Type) Determines if the underlying system type of the current Type is the same as the underlying system type of the specified Type.

Syntax

TypeInfo.Equals(Type) has the following syntax.

public virtual bool Equals(
  Type o
)

Parameters

TypeInfo.Equals(Type) has the following parameters.

• o - The object whose underlying system type is to be compared with the underlying system type of the current Type.

Returns

TypeInfo.Equals(Type) method returns true if the underlying system type of o is the same as the underlying system type of the current Type; otherwise, false.

Example

The following example uses Equals to compare two types.

/*from  w  w  w.j  a va  2s  .c om*/
using System;
using System.Reflection;

class Example
{
    public static void Main()
    {

        Type a = typeof(System.String);
        Type b = typeof(System.Int32);

        Console.WriteLine("{0} == {1}: {2}", a, b, a.Equals(b));

    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
