Returns a value indicating whether two instances of XName are equal.
public:
static bool operator ==(System::Xml::Linq::XName ^ left, System::Xml::Linq::XName ^ right);public static bool operator == (System.Xml.Linq.XName left, System.Xml.Linq.XName right);public static bool operator == (System.Xml.Linq.XName? left, System.Xml.Linq.XName? right);static member ( = ) : System.Xml.Linq.XName * System.Xml.Linq.XName -> boolPublic Shared Operator == (left As XName, right As XName) As BooleanParameters
Returns
true if left and right are equal; otherwise false.
Examples
The following example shows some comparisons between XName objects and strings.
XName xn;
xn = XName.Get("Root");
Console.WriteLine(xn == "Root");
xn = XName.Get("Root", "http://www.adventure-works.com");
Console.WriteLine(xn == "{http://www.adventure-works.com}Root");
XElement root = new XElement("Root", "content");
Console.WriteLine(root.Name == "Root");
Dim xn As XName
xn = XName.Get("Root")
Console.WriteLine(xn = "Root")
xn = XName.Get("Root", "http://www.adventure-works.com")
Console.WriteLine(xn = "{http://www.adventure-works.com}Root")
Dim root As XElement = New XElement("Root", "content")
Console.WriteLine(root.Name = "Root")
This example produces the following output:
True
True
True
Remarks
The operator overloads == and != are included to enable comparisons between XName and a string, such aselement.Name == "SomeElementName". The predefined reference equality operators in C# require one operand to be convertible to the type of the other through reference conversions only. These operators do not consider the implicit conversion from string to XName.
