0153 Object Identity vs. Value Equality
<![CDATA[
To compare two struct values, use the ValueType.Equals method.
Because all structs implicitly inherit from System.ValueType.
You call the method directly on your object:
using System;
public struct Person
{
public string Name;
public int Age;
public Person(string name, int age)
{
Name = name;
Age = age;
}
}
public class Application
{
static void Main()
{
Person p1 = new Person("Jack", 75);
Person p2;
p2.Name = "Jack";
p2.Age = 75;
if (p2.Equals(p1))
Console.WriteLine("p2 and p1 have the same values.");
}
}
The output:
p2 and p1 have the same values.
