StringComparer.GetHashCode Method (String)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

When overridden in a derived class, gets the hash code for the specified string.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride Function GetHashCode ( _
    obj As String _
) As Integer

public abstract int GetHashCode(
    string obj
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
A 32-bit signed hash code calculated from the value of the obj parameter.

Implements

IEqualityComparer<T>.GetHashCode(T)

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

Not enough memory is available to allocate the buffer required to compute the hash code.
